Bill was born on April 3, 1941, to Oscar William Fox Sr. and Ocillee Fox.
He married the love of his life, Mildred “Cookie” Fox, in 1962.
Bill is survived by his sons, William “Billy” Wayne Fox and his girlfriend, Angie Scherer, and Christopher Jason Fox and his fiancée Kristin Teschner, all of Chincoteague; his sister, Lucille Fox and her long-time partner, Bruce Scott, both of Chincoteague; his four grandchildren, William Wayne Fox II and his wife, Annah Fox, of Chincoteague, Kristin Paige Sherman and her husband, Joseph Sherman, of Fort Dodge, Iowa, Christopher Joseph Fox, of Orlando, Fla., and Kyle Blacksher, of Chincoteague; and his great-grandson, William “Liam” Wayne Fox III.

Bill loved his family and made sure they always knew that. He was incredibly proud of each of his sons, grandchildren, and his great-grandson. He loved telling anyone who would listen about the accomplishments of his loved ones.
Bill also greatly enjoyed his mornings at McDonald’s on Chincoteague. He would go there during the week to spend time with his friends, sharing knowledge, jokes, stories, and accomplishments of each of their grandchildren and closest relatives. Bill was loved dearly by his family and will be truly missed.
There was a graveside service at 2 p.m. on Monday, May 4, at John Taylor Memorial Cemetery in Temperanceville.
