I will always remember seeing him at Christmas when I was younger and will always remember his smile and how he would joke with my sisters and I. I found out Thursday after my last class of the afternoon that he had passed. I was sad that I could not be there for the funeral but I know that he would have wanted me to stay at college so I could go to my classes I will miss him dearly.

I remember "Frosty's" music from my many masonic meetings and visit's to the Masonic Home. In addition, he could always be counted on to play for the meetings of the young men of DeMolay. He was one of the nicest persons I've ever known. I'll always remember his ever present smile.

Treasured memories with my Grandpa Frost include: Walks on Gooches Beach in Kennebunkport, the cottage on Sea Road, the amazing toaster that popped toast so high we had to put in on the floor of the cottage kitchen and scoop our plates under the bread to catch it, Grandpa would bring his red Columbia bicycle in his car all the way to Rutland to ride bikes with me, climbing the apple trees in his back yard, raking leaves, putting sticks and stones in the wheel barrow and pushing it way up in the woods, the Grandpa powered lawn mower at the cottage, Grandpa's great sun tan and amazing smile, the beautiful lawn and trees at home and at the cottage, the warm sun porch, picking pears, adventures in the attic, skating, sledding and toboggans, he loved burnt toast, I loved watching him work on his huge model train layout, he gave me a circus train car, my nose rings... brrrrring! when pressed, the scent of Half & Half pipe tobacco, the day his new organ arrived, play me another song Grandpa, classical music on the record player in the living room, concerts in Institute Park, concerts at Worcester Auditorium, Drawing, Pointillism - his works are truly amazing, the ones he did of the horse, our dog Teeny and Nubble Light House were among my favorites, Chex cereal and peaches, Grandpa's garage, "helping" install the fence in the front yard and planting the pine trees, Grandpa loved to read the dictionary, Easter Dinners, Grandpa don't drink my drink, Choral Evening Song at FBC and Candlelight Service, Going to the neighbor's house in Maine, tongue twisters, black hair comb, he could play any tune he listened to, organist for silent movies, driver for Bob Hope, organist with the Masons, he did Bird Calls on the radio, talking and whistling to the birds while sitting in the back yard, sitting next to Grandpa on his organ bench watching his feet and hands create music for hours it seemed, and the most treasured... how many times he would say it for me to help me learn it little by little..... Mary had a little lamb in Chinese.... I finally learned it all Grandpa! I Love you and I miss you! Bah, Bah Hoppy Long Toe!
