Steve & I posing besides the "Bronze Fonz" on Riverwalk Way. This sculpture by American artist Gerald P. Sawyer, depicts "The Fonz," a character in the television series "Happy Days", which was set in Milwaukee.
The sculpture, made of bronze, depicts actor Henry Winkler as he appeared in his role as Arthur Fonzarelli (also known as "Fonzie" or "The Fonz"), an iconic character in the 1970s television show Happy Days, a sitcom about a family in 1950s–1960s Milwaukee. He stands in his usual attire, a leather jacket and jeans, and gives a two-handed thumbs up gesture, as he often did in Happy Days.
The sculpture was unveiled on August 18, 2008. Most of the Happy Days cast, including Winkler, Marion Ross (who played Marion Cunningham), Tom Bosley (Howard Cunningham), Erin Moran (Joanie Cunningham), Don Most (Ralph Malph), and Anson Williams (Warren "Potsie" Weber), attended the dedication ceremony. Winkler referred to the statue as "unbelievable."
