Jim and Aggie Willis were long time supporters of both the Restaurant and Hotel-Motel Associations in the State of Washington. Jim served a term for both association as their President (RASW President in two terms, 1975-76 and 1976-77). They were the only couple to be honored as Hospitality Industry Hosts of the Year, being named in 1975 for their joint service. Aggie passed away in 1977, while Jim died in 1994.
