They moved to Artas where they owned and operated a U-Save store for seven years. In 1953 they moved to McClusky, and owned and operated the Grenz Super Value. They sold their store to their son Terry and retired for a time before opening the Variety and Clothing Store in McClusky in 1982. Several years later, due to health reasons, they decided to take a full retirement and spend the winter months in Arizona and enjoy their family and friends.

Willie was active in the McClusky community activities while in business there. He was a charter member of the McClusky Lions Club, a member of the United Methodist Church and served on the board there for many years. Willie was a quiet man until it came time to talk about fishing or about the basketball games and tournaments which he attended every year. There always seemed to be enough room in Doc Schindler's or Jon Sparrow's car for a ride to the games. Willie's pride and joy was his family. The family gatherings meant so much to him. He loved his family and would do anything for them. Willie is survived by two sons and a daughter-in-law, Terry and Diane of McClusky; Toby, Kalamazoo, Mich., daughter and son-in-law, Debra and Tim Wieber, Andover, Minn.; four grandchildren, Aaron, Amy, Jenny and Brian.
