20 May 2005 I don't know much about Frosty, but what I do know is this: He was a hero and big brother-type person to my dad, who was five years younger and lived in the same small town as Frosty. After Frosty's death, my dad has really never been the same and so I want to honor Frosty's memory for all the things he was to my dad and so many other people. From the daughter of a friend. E-mail address is not available.

 

26 Jun 2007 My dad, Max Hoeme, was cousins with Forrest. They were very close and I have heard many stories over the years about things they did together. He was a true hero as were all who served. God bless. Debbie Hoeme Tice debt62@hotmail.com
