My condolences to the family of Alan Frank! Many enjoyable times were spent with Alan at KFC Conventions and Ad Meetings! Alan would always put on the Dr. Frank FRENCH accent when registering at a crowded restaurant to get us to the front of the line! With his many talents his humor played a great roll in his reaching out to friends and his knowledge and intelligence cemented that relationship. God Bless and Rest In Peace Alan Frank! Ph

Susan, sorry this is so late. But I wanted to add my memory of Alan Frank from 1963-ish. I was a singer/guitar player as a 13 year old in a rock 'n roll cover band called the PoorBoys. I remember distinctly riding in the back of a big beautiful Cadillac on our way to Jackson Hole to play in some little venue where Alan had booked us. Oh the memory! God speed Alan.

Dear Julie, Gloria, Susie & Family,

What a multi-talented, musically gifted, highly successful man your Dad & our cousin was. I always boasted about how he came up with KFC’s classic slogan: “It’s Finger Lickin’Good!” Even pitched the idea to an NBC TV game show called “To Tell the Truth.” They called Alan to confirm and, giving credit where credit is due, he told them that it was actually his client Pete Harman who came up with that enduring slogan. But hey, he told the...

Dear Gloria and family-
My heart and prayers go out to all of you in this most difficult time. The loss of a parent is very deep and profound. When I lost my father someone told me that you never get over it, but you do get through it. Over the years I found that to be a true statement. Alan was a wonderful man and I have so many fond memories of him. Many wonderful dinners, great conversation and above all the enjoyment of Alan's amazing sense of humor! I remember like it was...

Tee it up buddy!

Jason, John, Suzi and Bev,

Our hearts go out to all of you during this difficult time. We are sorry we were at our son's wedding in Montana during the memorial. Alan will always be remembered as a man of dignity, discernment, hard work, humor, and a man extremely proud of you, his family. It wasn't difficult to see how proud he was of each of you as our conversations would quickly turn to how you were all doing and what new accomplishments had been made. His face beamed every...

Dear Gloria, Micah, Julie and Sue, I am so very sorry for your loss and wish you were able to have spent more time with your father these past few years. I had the privilege of meeting Alan on several occasions both in Salt Lake and in Reno. He was an outstanding and generous man. My thoughts and prayers are with your. Love Cindy Riedl

Dear Frank family,

I have so many fond memories of Al dating back to the late 50's and early 60's. My mom, Ivalou Greenhalgh Leonard went to school with Al and in the late 50's he moved next door to us on Oak View Dr. My 3 younger sisters and I would all wander over to Al's and he would entertain us with his wonderful piano playing for hours and I always made the same request and it was for Canadian Sunset. Al was a wonderful man and great neighbor and we will all miss him...
