It is with great sadness that we remember Eddie Frost, past President of Old Crescent RFC, who passed away recently following an accident abroad.
Eddie was a wonderfully warm person, universally popular, full of good humour and always ready for a bit of slagging. He brought that same warmth and spirit to club life, making a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Among his many contributions to Old Crescent, Eddie served as Club President in 2011. In his playing days, he represented the club at junior level, where he was known for his speed off the mark. Away from rugby, he was also a useful golfer and a proud member of Castletroy Golf Club.
In later years, Eddie took on the considerable task of organising our pre-match lunches alongside his trusty sidekick, Dale Harrow. Feeding 60–80 hungry rugby supporters, each arriving with a healthy appetite and the firm expectation of a home win, was no small undertaking. Eddie could not always guarantee the result, but he made sure nobody went hungry.
Above all, Eddie will be remembered for his kindness, his humour and the pleasure of his company. He will be sorely missed by his many friends throughout Old Crescent and beyond.
Our heartfelt sympathies are with Eddie’s children, Ted, Deirdre & Tara, sister Monica and close friends at this sad time.
May he rest in peace.
