He graduated from Pickwick Southside in 1962, where during his senior year he met the love of his life, Rebecca Louise Boren (Becky). They married May 21, 1964 and they were always together from that time on. Their lives were filled with much joy when their sons, Michael "Todd" and Jeremy Shane "Dusty" came along. Williard was a wonderful father, he coached his sons in various sports, taught them how to fish and water ski and how to find arrowheads at Shiloh. He spent 30 years working at steel mill in Counce. He loved to go fishing and having everyone over for a terrific catfish fry. Willard made beautiful bird houses and furniture in his woodshop and enjoyed collecting civil war relics and baseball cards. He loved children and he always gave the kids at church a dollar every Sunday.  Willard was a faithful member of Center Hill Baptist Church for over 28 hears, he loved going to church and he wrote gospel songs and enjoyed singing. In their later years, he and Becky loved to travel and spend time with family. Willard is survived by his wife of 62 years, Becky Webb; his brother, James Larry Webb (Phyllis); sister, Lora McLain (Gerald); several nieces, nephews, other relatives and a host of wonderful friends. When Willard left this world, the family rejoices that he is finally reunited with his sons, Todd and Dusty along with his parents, Henry and Gladys Webb and his brother, Vernon Webb (Betty Sue) in heaven.
