He was born on July 19, 1932, to parents George and Evelyn (Jensen) Appleby. Bill grew up in Milwaukee and was a graduate of Rufus King High School.

In 1968, he accepted the Green Bay Superintendent of Parks and Recreation position where he spent 23 years until retiring in 1991.

Bill had a lot of adventures in his life and there were three bragging rights that he was proud of; he participated in the 1956 U.S. Olympic trials – competing in the decathlon; he “Really” did attend the 1967 Ice Bowl; and he worked at the Masters golf tournament for nine years, serving as a gallery guard on the par 3 fourth hole. Bill is survived by his loving family; his wife of 63 years, Susanne Appleby; and daughters, Virginia “Viki” Appleby (Dave Baumgart), Laura “Lori” Appleby, and Jennifer (Brian) Klaus.
