| Frederick Elbert Crosier 1909 - 2013 NORTH ADAMS Frederick Elbert Crosier, 104, a lifelong resident of North Adams, died on Dec. 13, 2013. He was born on April 24, 1909. the only child of Rose Lane Moore from North Adams and Frederick Crosier from Greylock. He grew up on the family farm on Protection Avenue where he enjoyed the woods and the fields, the farm and the animals. He loved berry picking and climbing in the apple trees. When the family retired from farming, they moved to a house on Ashland Street in North Adams where Fred attended Mark Hopkins School. Of all his classes, he enjoyed "Shop" most and there he made a maple ladder back chair which remained in his room until his last day. In the shop, he learned to use the printing press and printed all the tickets for the school events. Fred attended Drury High School where, as a freshman, he took his first French course and discovered a love for words and language which lasted the rest of his life. One of his prized possessions was his LaRouse de Poche, pocket French dictionary. When Fred was fifteen, he passed the exam for the Amateur Radio License. (WA1EKR) His uncle, Jim Durocher, helped Fred by putting a radio antenna on a pole which still stands not far from the Ashland Street house location. Also at this time, Fred decided on his own to join The First Methodist Church. He was given a small membership card which he proudly carried in his wallet for the rest of his life. Later he served on the Church Board of Trustees. Fred was also a member of the Lafayette-Greylock Lodge of Masons for 65 years. In 1924, he joined the first Drury High School Band led by James Morley Chambers. Fred played the clarinet. In April in New York City, the band played a concert at Wanamakers Department Store, made a recording at the Thomas Edison Studio and then paraded from the Belmont Hotel to the Hippodrome on 44th Street. He was the last surviving member of the 1924 band. By all accounts, Fred was an excellent figure skater, swimmer, and dancer. He won the lead in the Senior Class play with his ability to do the Charleston. When Fred was eighteen, he met Doris Jane Loomis, then fifteen, and he asked her to go with him to the prom. She also loved to dance and welcomed the opportunity. In 1935, Fred married Jane Loomis at the Notre Dame Church with a reception at her parents' house on River Street. He was 26 and she was 23 and had just graduated from North Adams Normal School (now MCLA). Fred and Jane had two daughters Cynthia and Susan. They were married for 66 years. After high school, Fred worked in the chemistry laboratory of the Arnold Printworks. Later, he worked for GE in Schenectady. In his mid-twenties, Fred went to study at the New York Institute of Photography. This was in the depths of the Depression when many were standing in breadlines. Fred lived at the YMCA and was running out of money. He wired home to his Aunt Maude who sent him $5.00. When the money arrived, Fred had already landed a job retouching photographic negatives. Fred's first job after finishing the course in New York City was as the official photographer for Sprague Electric Company. The company was new and was involved in manufacturing for the war effort. After the war, Fred continued to work for Sprague as Product Engineer in Charge of Dry Electrolytic Capacitors Fred is survived by his daughters, Cynthia Jane and husband James Baird, Susan Carol and husband, C.R. Jones; five grandchildren, James Baird and wife Michelle, Heather Baird and husband, Sean Daly, Graham Jones, Perry Jones and wife, Jacqueline, Amanda Jones Wyckoff and husband, Simon, and four great-grandchildren, Killian Daly, Sofia Jones, Tristan and Cameron Baird.

Note N7702 :
| Bill died on route to Florida to spend some time in a Time Share in Key West. In conjunction with the business's that he owned, he was hauling a large Ryder truck delivering a load of furniture. He stopped at his son's house in Suwanee, GA while on route and had a massive heart attack sitting in the living room in an easy chair. His father died the same way at the same age at his home at 590 Cheshire Rd, Pittsfield, MA. This writer (Frank Pulaski) was a cousin and best friend. The day after Bill died I sat at my kitchen table in Searsburg, VT and wrote the following: April 24,1997........ Where do I begin? How do I express my feelings the day after my cousin, my dear friend has passed away. I laid in bed this morning with tears flowing, thinking of all the things we did together. Thinking of all the future plans that we had to enjoy retirement together.....the four of us. The trips, the reunions, just getting together to try to beat him in a game of Pitch or Blackjack. Just memories now..... and for years to come. As kids growing up together, we were neighbors, him at 590 and I at 582 Cheshire Road just South of the Lanesboro line in Pittsfield, MA. He was nearly three years older than I which was probably the reason I looked up to him so much. He was like the older brother I never had. As kids we didn't do what would be considered normal today. There was no smoking, no drugs, no disrespect for others. We found pleasure in the outdoors and the bond we shared growing up together. We spent a lot of time combing the woods behind our houses. We day-dreamed like all kids do of growing up and owning ranches out west with horses and cattle. Doesn't seem that long ago. We had our favorite places to explore in the woods that probably covered a ten square mile area. The favorite place was off Gulf Road which was and still is a dirt road that goes from Rt. 8 in Lanesboro to Dalton. At the high point in the road is what we called the "Rocks". A formation of rocks climbing to the top of the mountain that looked like someone had blasted the mountain with dynamite to create. At least it appeared to have been created that way. I'm sure it is a natural formation though. At the base of the Rocks is a cave that goes under the road. The access is only a very small crawl space about 15 feet long that enters into a large room. We would go there all the time, probably looking for buried treasure. Snakes and bugs never bothered us. There was an old logging road off Gulf Road that took you to the very top of the mountain. Up there was an old apple orchard, abandoned for many years but still producing a lot of apples. In the fall we would grab some grain sacks, jump on our bikes and head for the apple orchard. Of course we would have to push the bikes all the way up the logging road to the top of the mountain. After filling the grain sacks, we would lay them across the handle bars and try to make it down the logging road. Those sacks had to weigh 50 pounds each. By the time we got them home most of the apples would be converted to apple juice from dropping them off the handle-bars. But it was fun. One year we built a ski jump in the summer and waited for the snow to fall. Of course we built the jump at the very bottom of the hill. The first time over that jump we realized that meeting up with the ground after going over it seemed to hurt more than it was supposed to. They never told us that you should still be going down hill after going over a jump. And the skis'......nothing but a small leather strap to hold them on your boot. All us kids went to Crane school on Dalton Ave. in Pittsfield. I think it is an apartment building now. One of the games we would play was called Chicken. A team consisted of a big kid with a little kid sitting on his shoulders. Picture two big kids with little kids on their shoulders and the object was for the little kids to try to knock each other off the big kid. Well I was the little kid and my horse was Bill. Bill was as rugged as they come. While other kids were at the candy store or just hanging around, Bill was at home with a pick and shovel building a stone wall that when finished was 4 feet high and about 100 feet long on the North side of his fathers property. Needless to say, Bill and I were the Chicken champs. As we grew up I would follow in his footsteps. Bill joined the Navy and I did also three years later. Bill married and settled in New York State and I married and settled in Pittsfield. We tended to drift apart during those years of raising children, and doing what was necessary to provide for our families. I think it was about 15 years ago when we both decided we had "been there, done that, bought the lousy T-shirt". It was time to get back together and pick up where we left off as kids. One weekend Bill, Sandi, Daryl and I headed to Rockingham race track at Salem, NH. It was on this trip that we laid the plan for the first Poplawski, Poplaski, Pulaski family reunion. The thought came from a bug put in Bill's ear from Uncle Gene Gzula. What fun it was getting together in the ensuing months to finalize those plans. As everyone knows, it was a complete success with about 250 in attendance over a three day 4th of July weekend in 1989. The reunion has continued successfully since then every year. As Bill and I grew closer during this period of our lives I found out what a person he was. I found out what a provider he was and of his unselfish love for his family. He treasured his kids, he treasured his grandkids, and he treasured his wife Sandi to the very end. And he treasured Andale. He did more in his short lived life than most of us would do in two lifetimes. What he had he shared with his family. Bill and I have spent the past couple years upgrading our computers and learning the ropes together for making full use of the Internet. We kept in contact with each other via E-Mail and Internet phone whether he was in Santa Fe, Rio (Ouaquaga, NY), or on one of their trips as he would bring his notebook computer. I'm going to miss that. There will be an empty hole in my life that really can't be filled. Bill lived his life like there would always be a tomorrow. He barely took time between projects to catch his breath. During and in between projects they would travel back and forth to their 2nd home in Santa Fe. Then there was always a timeshare swap for a week in Vermont, Hawaii, Florida, Puerto Rico, Mexico or some other exciting place. Barely time to unpack their bags. It was fun tracing their footsteps via E-Mail. This is how I will remember him. Full of life and happiness. Always being the entrepreneur.....even on vacation with the telephone. Always making his kids and grandkids a major part of his life. Always sharing life to the fullest with Sandi. He wouldn't want us to be saddened with our loss. You know, I never heard him utter a cuss word in his life. I can just hear him now saying "What the crap is going on here". I'm going to miss you Bill. Frank Pulaski |
