He received both his bachelor's and master's degrees in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University.

He was a southern gentleman that was loved and respected by his family. He is survived by his wife Ann Marie Kostreski Willard and children Karen Willard, Nicole Scott (Kevin) and grandchildren Clara and Hadley Scott, and son Michael Hugh Willard (Carmen) and immeasurable friends and family.

I am so sorry about Hugh. We grew up together right down the road from one another and I always thought a lot of all the "Willard Boys". May God bless and comfort all of you as only He can is my prayer. Marilyn Willard Hale (distant cousin)
