Joseph Lacey Willis, the secretary of the Reconstruction Party, was born in London, England in 1903. He was a student at Queen's University but upon his marriage to Helen Marie Perry of London, Ontario, he moved to London where he graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1930, with a degree in English and History. He was a Grand Master in the Masonic Lodge, a public school teacher and principal for a span of forty-six years, broken only by service during World War II. He commanded the First Signals Squadron of London, Ontario and came to Kingston to be chief instructor at the Signals School at Vimy Barracks until 1944. He and his wife were deeply involved in the attempt to launch the Reconstruction Party into a new national political alternative. He remained interested in politics, despite the disappointing fall of the Reconstruction Party, until his death in 1979.

Following his honorable discharge from the Royal Canadian Navy at the end of World War II, D.G. (Mike) Willis ran his father's store in Seeley's Bay until 1959, when he operated an aerial photography company known as Rideau Aerial Photography, in partnership with his brother-in-law, Jack Wyatt. He did much contract and commercial work. His business took him down to the Maritimes and out to Western Canada, although much was concentrated in Eastern Ontario. Flying mostly out of Seeley's Bay, a small town approximately twenty minutes north of Kingston, his aerial images provide a stunning and detailed record of an area from Belleville to Brockville to Smiths Falls in particular, and includes all points in between. Although now retired, D.G. (Mike) Willis continued to be active in a number of personal pursuits, including a detailed study of the archaeological record of the region around Kingston, and the local lapidary association. He passed away in Brockville in June 2010.
