WW was a successful bar and restaurant owner. His two most popular establishments were WW's Ribs and the Blue Chaparral, where he served legendary pulled pork and world-famous chicken wings.
When not hard at work, WW enjoyed a good time; from the thrill of NASCAR races and shooting craps at the casino, to sitting on the beach and fishing.
