Charles William Fox, DFC and Bar, CD (February 26, 1920 – October 18, 2008)[2] was a Flight Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Air Force in World War II.

On July 17, 1944, he flew from the Allied air base at Beny-sur-Mer in Normandy and strafed an unknown black car; he later learned that one of the passengers was German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, who was seriously injured in the attack.

As Rommel was soon afterwards implicated in the assassination plot against Adolf Hitler, he was allowed to commit suicide and his death was announced as a result of injuries from the air attack.

[6] Fourteen of Fox's planes were judged to be no longer usable after returning from missions due to excessive damage from enemy fire.

He regularly took on speaking engagements to keep veterans' stories alive and fought with school boards to ensure Remembrance Day ceremonies were held annually.

The overpass - the first arterial road roundabout in the city - was built to facilitate the safe passage of pedestrians over a CN rail line, as well as easing traffic when a train passed.
