Mendell William Frost
1935-2017
Mr. Chubby Frost, of Seal Cove, Grand Manan, NB, passed away
peacefully, Thursday, October 12, 2017, with his family by his
side. He was the son of the late Carl and Florence (Flossie)
(Brown) Frost. Chubby was born in Deep Cove and grew up
below the Brown Hill.
A fisherman his whole life, Chubby was on the water from a
very early age. Chubby was a fixture at the wharf, where he
will be remembered by his famous whistle and his light-hearted banter
with local fisherman. Chubby loved bluegrass music,
travelling with family and friends to concerts and blaring tunes from
his truck radio while cruising around with Black Dog. An
avid hunter, even in his later years, Chubby cherished his time in the
great outdoors and at the Sunset, walking the trails scouting for
deer. Whether sporting a Santa suit for island children at
Christmas time to donning his Dolly Parton wig and high heels at
island bluegrass events, Chubby’s legendary generosity and
zest for life touched the lives of generations of islanders throughout
the years.
Chubby will be sincerely missed by his family: two
daughters, Teri Lynn Bainbridge and Mendella (Mendy) Calder (Jason) of
Grand Manan; five sons, Vincent (Rocky) (Tina) Frost of Taylor Lake,
Ricky (Susan) Frost, Farron (Stephanie) Frost, Evan (Debbie) Frost and
Troy Calder of Grand Manan. In addition to his children,
Chubby is survived by twelve grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren,
two sisters, Marie Wallace of Perth Andover and Rosalie Creamer of
Saint John, one brother, Theodore (Teddy) (Charlotte) Frost of Grand
Manan, many nieces, nephews and friends.
Visiting will take place at the Seal Cove Baptist Church on
Sunday, October 15th, 2017, from 2-4 and 6-8
pm. The Funeral Service will be held on Monday, October
16th, at 1:30 pm, also at the Seal Cove Baptist
Church.
Chubby’s family have requested that in lieu of
flowers, donations be made to The Charlotte County Cancer Society, The
Grand Manan Hospital Foundation, The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation or
