Born April 30, 1920 in Washington, D.C., Frank came to Corpus Christi with his family in 1930 when his father was appointed director of the Port of Corpus Christi. Frank attended Corpus Christi Academy and graduated with honors in 1941 from Texas A&M University where he was a member of the Ross Volunteers.
During WWII he served as Squadron Commander of the 391st Bomber Group flying B-26 Martin Marauders. He was shot down over Calais, France in 1944 and spent 12 months as a prisoner of war in Germany. He was awarded the Purple Heart and the Air Medal. After the war he rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and served in the Air Force Reserves until 1965.
Frank was dedicated to his family and business and in addition spent the last 46 years helping recovering alcoholics. He was a charter member and current President of C. C. Alanos, Inc. founded in 1957. In 1958 he joined the board of Guest House, an alcoholism treatment center for male and female clergy and religious in Lake Orion, Michigan.
Among Frank's many accomplishments was the ability to make us all laugh. For that, he will be forever remembered.
