And with 6 grandkids he shared
his love of looking over the waters.
Enjoying time hunting and fishing,

Collections he has around ,
Duck and geese decoys alike
Dozens to be used on the ground.

Frosty may have helped,
If you were signing leases
Now a fact, the identity,
This may just give it away

On a day, Frosty can be found
At the fairgrounds, doing his thing
Saying his words fast,
Much like the song you can sing
