Bernard Urban Frankl, the son of Gerald and Rita (Kunkle) Frankl, was born October 13, 1946 at Algona, Iowa. He was raised at Irvington and graduated from Garrigan High School in 1964. Barney served in the National Guard from August of 1965 until September of 1970 and was the manager of the feedlot at the Humboldt Sale Barn. He then went into the construction business building packinghouses for IBP and powerhouses and water towers all across the country for many years. For the past twelve years, Barney was in the trucking business, first as an owner/operator driving cross-country then for New COOP.
Barney will be remembered as a people person. He enjoyed visiting with people and handing out “dollar rings” everywhere he went. He loved horses and Rose Mill Park where he built many of its structures.
