Willis then opened Willis Restaurant at the corner of Hill and Taylor streets. “It was during the depression and I had plenty customer, all say ‘gimme, please’,” Papa John said. Papa John describes his work required for the operation of his restaurant as “transfusing your blood to make it.” It took many hours of hard work in the business which did not pick up considerably until after 1940, ac cording to Papa John. “If hard work will kill people, John Willis would be dead long time ago,” Papa John said. “Have to get Philadelphia lawyer to put that together,” he quipped. In 1943 Papa John’s wife, Blanche, was killed in an accident. It was not until 1945 that he married again. This time it was to his present wife, Agnes, who resides with the former restauranteur on West Solomon street. From that union was bom a son, Arthur. Up to 1960, when Papa John decided to live on his Social Security, he became a household word throughout Griffin and his restaurant had the makings of an institution. It was also in 1960 that the 72-year-old Grecian decided to take a pilgrimage to the Old Country, Greece. His 2-month trip was covered by United Press International (UPI) and Papa John said almost everywhere he and his travelling companion, Angelo, went a wire service man showed up. The Greek language he had not spoken regularly for more than half a century came easily for him as he visited his homeland where he grew up raising sheep and goats. “The folks were nice and very sociable,” Papa John said.

Wedding a decorated walking cane which he spasmodically beats on anything handy, Papa John can always be seen wearing the little beanie-type hat that has become his trademark. Papa John explained why he wears it. In the old country, he was playing a European game of balls which is played with heavy iron balls. Accidentally, he was hit in the head with one of the balls and afterwards he developed constant headaches. He found the cap kept his head warm and the headaches away. Ever since he has worn elaborately stitched caps which are made by his sister. One who visits Papa John will be entertained hour after hour as he recalls vividly stories of his life mixed with a touch of philosophy. In particular, is he concerned with fidelity to one woman as a wife, and providing for a family. “What does a hen do before she lays an egg? She builds a nest. A man ought to have a roof over his head before he marries,” Papa John said. Papa John feels a man can be suc cessful at anything if he tries bard enough. “You can be successful at anything except at gambling or drinking,” Papa John mused. Still regimented by sleeping hours from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m., Papa John finds the habit he formed while in business hard to break. It’s a personal vestage of 37 years of restaurant service to Griffin.
