I heard Bill’s father was a man named Bill Russel, he was a track guy at Thistledown, his mom was well known at the racetracks. She brought little Bill up to Thistledown a few times to see his real dad.

I never heard the name, but I did hear back in the 90s that it was some mob guy from Chicago who vacationed down there, and I also read the part about him taking care of little Billy.
