FROST, CALVIN LESTER
It is with great sadness that the family of Calvin Frost announce his passing at the Oromocto Public Hospital on December 25th, 2015. He was born in Whale Cove, Nova Scotia on October 14th, 1939, to the late Webster and Wilda Frost. Calvin was the husband of the late Rhea Frost (nee Luke).
Calvin leaves behind his sons, Daniel and Troy (Lusinda); daughter, Pam (Yves) Frost-Lavoie; grandchildren, Alex, Jessie, Riley, Mackenzie and Jordan; sisters, Wilda (David) Leblanc, Helen (Kenny) Muise; brothers, Floyd Frost and Delbert (Shirley) Frost; spiritual brother, Stath; as well as many family and close friends.
Calvin was predeceased by his parents; brother, Elmer and sister, Gertrude Trask.
Calvin was a loving father and poppie, whose warm heart and welcoming home were open to everyone. Calvin was a quiet, humble and kind man who enjoyed laughter and listening to the love of his life, Rhea, tell stories of experiences they shared. He proudly served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 35 years and throughout his career made many wonderful friendships. He will be sadly missed but lovingly remembered by his family and friends.
The family would like to specially thank the doctors, nurses and staff of the Oncology Unit at the Saint John Regional Hospital and also Dr. Reid and the nurses at the Oromocto Public Hospital for their excellent care.
Visitation will be held at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church on Monday, January 4th, 2016 from 6:00 until 8:00 pm. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at the church on Tuesday, January 5th, 2016 at 11:00 am with Fr. Mark Trzop as celebrant. Interment will take place in the spring. For those who wish, donations in Calvin’s memory can be made to the Arthritis Society or to the Canadian Cancer Society.
