Uncle Bill was, by far, the most gentle of the “Dodge Boys” (Fran, Bill, Ed, Earl, Cart, Addie, harry, Ned & Paul) even though he was a semi-pro boxer. He was the smallest & Grampa’s favourite. They were best friends and drinking buddies. Per Miss Addie, Bill was the only one who never felt Grampa’s hand. All of the cousins loved him very much. He died at 58 when I was in college.
