Franklin Earl Aldrich known to all as Frankie, Named after his Grandfather Benjamin Franklin Bucher who went by Frank. Frankie suffered from severe Cerebral Palsy as a result of his mother having been anesthetized while 9 months pregnant and in labor. He was never able to walk or talk and could not use his hands. He lived with his parents for 17 years then was put in a home for handicapped children when his mother could not lift him anymore. After only a short time in the home he fell out of bed when an aid at the home failed to put up the rail on his bed. He landed hard on his head and died shortly afterwards just short of his 18th birthday. The doctor who pronounced him dead was the same doctor who had delivered him and messed him up. The Dr did not even bother to come out and look at him instead he pronounced him dead over the phone. He had massive bruising on his head according to his aunt Betty Becker who went to the home with her sister Helen when the news was received that he had died. He was an only child Helen being unable to conceive afterwards. His disability greatly affected his parents, his father turning to Alcohol, which cost him his job about a year after Frankie died and eventually killed him.
