On November 17, 1962, he was married to Patti Ann Dickson. He was preceded in death by his parents; and his brother, Kenneth Eugene Fisher. A U.S. Navy veteran, he was a member of the Albert Pike Masonic Lodge #714 in Little Rock, and was Missionary Baptist in his faith. For several years he owned and operated his own construction company, building some of the most beautiful homes in several of the elite neighborhoods in Little Rock. He retired from Garney Construction, where he had the privilege of working alongside his son and three of his grandsons. Bill was a strong and courageous man known to many as "Bad Bill", because of his unstoppable will to fight any battle hard and head on, never giving up even in his final moments here on earth. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and sitting on his porch visiting with friends and family.
