He tended to use very colorful language in his everyday conversation. That was something that I decided to do too, as a small child, to be just like him. The rest of the adults in the family didn't seem to find this as amusing in a 4 year old, and forbid me to talk like that. So I made up my own special swear words that I could use in extreme situations. My rule was since I could not use the "adult" bad words, they could not use mine. For some reason, my family honored this rule.
They moved from Cooper to Baileyville in the early 1950's when Bill got a job with the Saint Croix Paper Company. All the family would always go to their house in Woodland (now known as Baileyville) on Labor Day to watch the "famous" Labor Day Parade from their porch on Main Street.
He died in June of 1971 from injuries sustained as a result of an industrial accident at the Paper Mill. He was 48 years old. Sometimes when my son Matt tilts his head and smiles in a certain way, that smile is so like my Uncle Billy's.
