Donald Charles (Robby) Frank

Donald Charles (Robby) Frank DA/PhD was born on March 17th, 1937, in Salina, Kansas.  Robby was preceded in death by his parents, Cyrus Frank and Maybelle Allen.  Wife Gloria Frank, son Donald Jr., brother, Ed Frank, and son in law Terry.

He is survived and remembered by his daughter Robin Le Ann, wife to Frank Welty, parents of the craziest bunch of kids to ever be seen, and nine great grandchildren.  His brother in law Jim Bauer, nieces, Jill and Holly and their families.

In 1954 at the young age of 17, he joined the United States Air Force in Barksdale, LA.  In 1974 he retired as M/Sgt.  He married Gloria, his "bear", on June 1st, 1968, and they would enjoy 53 years together.

Robby was dedicated sports fan and avidly supported his favorite teams in St. Louis and Las Vegas.  He was also a lover of the fine arts.  He and Gloria would frequent The Muny, The Fox Theater, and Queenie Pops.  He had a love for bartending that was showcased in each of his homes.

In retirement Doc Robby could be seen zipping through the crowded streets of Las Vegas on his electric scooter with his American Flag flapping behind him.  He could always be found playing the poker slots with his wife close by "spending their daughter's inheritance by the penny".  Together they would attend hockey games at UNLV, and they looked forward to welcoming the Raiders to their city.

He was loved and will be missed.
