They would make their home on the McFarland Ranch, where Virgil worked until he was deployed during WWII. Upon his return from service, the couple moved to Chicago. In 1955, Willie and Virgil moved back to Oklahoma, where Willie would work on the family farm, and for 20 years, as a cashier clerk for Safeway.
