The 70-year-old actor shared a photo on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/hwinkler4real) Tuesday of himself posing with the “Bronze Fonz,” Milwaukee’s tribute to the beloved leather-clad greaser that was unveiled in 2008.

Thank you for my professional life. Thank you for your loyalty, friendship and generosity,” following the director’s death in July. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4445656/henry-winkler-fonz-statue-happy-days/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4445656/henry-winkler-fonz-statue-happy-days/"},"headline":"Here's a Photo of Henry Winkler Hanging Out With a Bronze Statue of the Fonz","datePublished":"2016-08-09T21:27:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:17.441Z","description":"Ayyy","url":"https://time.com/4445656/henry-winkler-fonz-statue-happy-days/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","celebrities","TV"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4445656/henry-winkler-fonz-statue-happy-days/","name":"Here's a Photo of Henry Winkler Hanging Out With a Bronze Statue of the Fonz"}}]}] ```
