They settled down in Maryland where they had three beautiful children, Wesley, Marquis and Arlandria. He was known better to them as "Woie" because they couldn't pronounce Willie. After retiring from the military he was employed with Washington Metro Transit Authority for 27 years where he made friends who became like family.

Willie was known for watching his favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys in his grand man-cave and even traveled to Texas to see them live. Willie was an avi d bowler on several different teams and earned several bowling trophies. He also enjoyed playing and he taught tennis.  In addition to bowling and tennis, he loved himself a good game of chess. There were also rumors of him being a closet golfer.

Family and friends knew him as a jokester and he loved to keep people laughing. He also enjoyed eating good food while spending time with family and friends, even if he slipped away to watch the game. Willie was an amazing husband, father, grandfather and friend.
