Allen was born on March 17, 1932, in Forest Township, the son of Lester and Delia (Bethke) Frank. He grew up in Forest Township and was baptized and confirmed at Immanuel Lutheran Church.

He married his high school sweetheart, Jean Kathleen Oas, on September 1, 1951, at Immanuel Lutheran Church. They celebrated 73 wonderful years together. During those years, they purchased an 80-acre farm in Clear Lake Township, added another 140-acre farm, added 100 head of Holstein cattle, a BIG garden, and raised four wonderful children – Robert, Richard, Rita, and Ryan. Allen was a member of Moe Lutheran Church for many years and dedicated his life to his family, friends, farming, fun times, hunting, and traveling coast to coast in either a motorhome or on a motorcycle. In 1990, Allen sold the family farm to his son Richard (Lucinda) Frank, built several homes, and spent 30 amazing winters in Apache Junction, AZ. Allen and Jean eventually retired in Amery, WI.
