When he was younger, he worked at his step-father’s gas station fixing cars, and eventually became a radiator mechanic. He loved to fix cars, as well as doing custom paint jobs on cars and motorcycles every now and then. Willie also loved blues music and never missed watching Fox News when it was on. Family was very important to Willie, especially his “Sweetie” Lena. He would always say, “I had to come to Tennessee to find an Oklahoma woman.” Willie was well loved, and will be dearly missed.
