Not sure what to say?

Barbara: so sorry to hear of Frostys death. He really was a great journalist and truly a funny man. You were lucky to have him this long. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

So sorry for your loss

Frosty was a great boss, an admirable journalist and a really fun person to know. He leaves us with great memories.

May the wonderful memories of joyful times bring you all comfort. Frosty was always so kind to me. Peace be with you.

From the halls of power in Richmond to the commonwealth´s smallest settlements and newspapers, Frosty provoked, prodded, encouraged, befriended, mentored and supported thousands of us. He made Virginia better.
