William David Fox
Willie was a good old boy. Everyone loved him. He worked for
Stelzig Saddlery all his life. He married Ella Mae Raney and they
had one daughter, Linda Sue.
Linda Sue, born on August 11, 1942, married John David Sackett on
November 21, 1964. The couple lived in San Antonio for eighteen years
before returning to Houston and now living in Burne, Texas. Linda
is an avid and successful golfer. They have no children.
A handsome man was Willie at five feet and nine inches tall weighing
170 pounds with brown hair and big beautiful brown eyes. He had a
dry wit and was a charming man, easy to like and to love.
After his divorce, Willie later married Hazel Touche'. After
Willie's retirement, they moved to Wimberly. Hazel and Willie were
devoted to each other and loved their retirement days. Hazel was
previously married and had children. Her daughter, Barbara, married
Bob Wells and they live at Canyon Lake. Willie died. At this
writing I do not have the dates or name of cemetery in Wimberly, but
I believe he died in November of 1988. Willie is the son of Ernest
and Ida Fox, nee Stelzig and was born on December 15, 1913. Hazel,
too, has died.
