Willis and his family have owned King House Removals for 60 years. His daughter-in-law, Donna Willis, said Willis would have liked the short service because he was a straight-to-the-point person. Using a family truck to transport his coffin added to a touching farewell for the businessman. The Jesseps' company, Mid Canterbury Building Removals Ltd, has had a close association with the Willis family's King House Removals since the 1970s. Willis bought King House Removals 60 years ago and built it into a successful business, now run by his sons, Warren and Grant.
