Earl was born on August 7, 1945 in Bismarck, North Dakota, the son of Phillip and Hertha (Laubenstein) Frank. He was raised in western North Dakota until he was five years old when his family moved to Montana. He attended school in Dawson County and graduated from Dawson County High School with the class of 1963. Earl joined the U.S. Navy in the fall of 1963 and served his country for four years during the Vietnam War. He received an honorable discharge in August 1967. On November 22, 1967 Earl was united in marriage to the love of his life, Linda Thomson. Earl and his wife lived in Glendive until November 1968 when they moved to Denver, Colorado while Earl completed his accounting degree at Parks School of Business. In December 1969, Earl and his wife returned to Glendive where they made their home. Earl was employed by various accounting firms working for Cross Riggs when completing his college degree at Dawson Community College. In 1981, Earl and Linda fulfilled his dream, becoming self employed and establishing Frank Accounting and Tax Service. Last year was his 36th tax season. Earl loved to surround himself with family and friends. He was a strong shoulder to lean on, supportive listener and captured every heart he touched. Some of his favorite things were spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and going fishing. His fishing travels took him to many breath taking places, yet his favorites were Tobin Lake in Canada and the family cabin at Parshall Bay, North Dakota.
