He married the love of his life, Marian (Harvey) Gosch in 1950, and became the best father any five children could hope for.Wil was a lifetime member of the NRA, and was a proud American. After school he went to work with his father in his small masonry business, he then went on to work at the VA Hospital where he later retired.
