For the next 63 years, until 1996 when she passed away, Willis and Lura had a glorious marriage. They came to Phoenix on New Year's Day 1941.

He was a past officer of the Arizona Bankers Association, and a past Secretary of the American Bankers Association. Willis is survived by two sons, Bill and Tom, his daughter-in-law Kathleen Henze, and four grandchildren, Janey, Jeff and Marney Henze, and Martha Brumfield.
