Bill is a Milwaukee native who lives in Fox Point, Wisconsin and enjoys spending time with his children and grandchildren, golfing, fishing, and collecting historical circus posters.

One of Bill’s passions has been Wisconsin’s Great Circus Parade and its showcasing of original historical circus wagons. Formerly headed by Bill’s uncle, Chappie Fox, the parade was a state institution for decades, during which it was witnessed live by over 500,000 people and televised to a national audience.
