My parents (the 1st two listed) fled Hungary, lived in Germany & then brought me to Australia. I was 11 yrs old. My name is Frederick Joseph Forstner, but had to use my nickname Bigyo, to fit the space on the wall.

Dear Forstner family I was deeply saddened by the news of Freddie passing away, I am sorry for your lost, he was an amazing man, that I was lucky to meet in 1998 when I was in Sidney, I am also a hungarian by my parents side that borned in Brazil and we soon became friends...
Always when he was visiting Budapest we had a chance to catch up for a good time.
Please if it's possible keep me update on the farewell cerimony so I would like to ligth a candle on his name.
The family is in my hearts and prayers,
Osiris Piszter
