My brother was extra ordinary, he was always looking out for other people and wanted to teach young men to turn into good men for family and community. He was always the life of the party and great fun for our family, he will be greatly missed! I love you; your big sis!!

To the Ector family & friends:
I want to extend my sincere condolences in the passing of Fro. Having grown up together as children I share in your feelings of loss. Lately it seems that a lot of my childhood friends are passing, but this came as such a shock and bought back many memories from our old days at Fourth & Broadway.
Both Harry and Fro were very protective of their pretty sisters. I remember Fro warning me to leave them alone several times. Those were fun times indeed...
Fro was very blessed. He had the greatest parents anyone could hope for and it is to them I want to say "thank you" for the teaching, guidance and example you've provided, not just to your own children, but to your extended children, of which I'm including myself.
My prayers are with you and the family. I love you all.
Henry
