He was born October 18, 1936 in Albany, Kentucky to the late Wetson and Ruby (Garrett) Frost.

He was a life-long resident of New Castle and a 1955 graduate of New Castle Chrysler High School where he enjoyed playing sports on the football and baseball team and wrestled on the first team coached by Langdon Hay.

He served in the Marine Corp from 1955 to 1959 and received a Good Conduct Medal upon an Honorable Discharge at Cherry Point Marine Corp Airbase in Cherry Point North Carolina. “Bud” retired from Chrysler Corporation in New Castle following 30 years of service as foreman in the Tool and Die Shop.

He was an avid fan of all of the New Castle Trojan teams and held an All Sports season ticket for over 50 years. One of his proudest achievements was when he was part of a group of individuals that was instrumental in establishing the Little League Football program in New Castle. He then became one of the coaches along with friends, Kay Miller and Mardel Baker who successfully coached for five years winning the championship trophy every year.
