Willy loved farming and was very successful, developing one of the largest operations in the area over the course of his lifetime.   He was one of the first to have a lake cottage, and the home on Big Cormorant Lake was the site of many happy summer times.

W V and Lu

W. V. served on the Averill School Board, Glyndon Elevator Board, and was a lifetime member of Concordia Lutheran Church.
