I always thought I'd one day see his mug on the side of a Smucker's jelly jar!

Wasn't he the spokesman for Butter? Good on him for making it to 87.

I liked Willard only for the fact that Bryant Gumbel couldn't stand the guy. LOL

He's actually probably referring to a series of ads that ran at least in the late 80s that promoted butter in general on behalf of the American Dairy Association.
In the early 90s, he also spoke for True Value.
