Ernie, or Pop as I called him, was a wonderful warm hearted man. He always treated me like a daughter. I'll forever treasure my memories of spending time with him and his late wife Doris at his trailer in Brattleboro. Seeing his eyes light up every time he was playing with his grandaughter Brandi brought a smile to my heart. May he rest in peace as heaven welcomes his singing and dancing. I love you forever Pop Frost, Patti(Slate)Weller

Grand pa always had a smile on his face, and a hug ready for me and his great-grandchildren. They will miss seeing him and hearing stories of when he was a kid.
