Wilson will be remembered for putting WKDZ-AM 1110 on the air on April 8, 1966, and later putting WKDZ-FM on the air in 1971. During a drive by birthday celebration earlier this year, Mr Willie shared his love and appreciation for the people of Cadiz and Trigg County.
Mr. Willie always had a love for the community and would often send cards of congratulations to community members for life accomplishments or events.
Willie was inducted into the Kentucky Broadcasters Hall of Fame and was later named Trigg County Friend of Agriculture.
