Included are photographs of family and friends, World War II and Civilian Conservation Corps, visits to Death Valley and a beach in New York, Murl’s basketball team material, and photo booth snapshots.
Willoughby died of heart failure on February 19, 1999, at Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare of Dyersburg.
