Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Del enjoyed playing his harmonica and carving little figures to give people. What treasured memories.

  2. My deepest condolences. I never meet Del…..but watched “Madd Frank” religiously up in Manitoba on Channel 12.
    Thank you Del for entertaining the rural Manitoba kids in the 80/90s.
    Cheers Emile Hemery

  3. I really enjoyed watching him on late night TV. He had a gift, and I’m glad that he shared it.

  4. Kent, so sorry for your loss. Loved having your dad emcee our football banquets.

  5. I remember getting your autograph at west acres mall when I was a little girl. My mom and I watched Mad Frank Presents every weekend.

  6. thank you for the childhood memory of meeting “madd frank”. rest in peace.

  7. Great memories, was telling my daughter about commercials and watching tv, movies on the weekends.

  8. I have such amazing memories of Del/Madd Frank. Rest easy you ghoul!!!!

  9. Forever grateful for the years of entertainment Del provided to his fans, including taking the time for meet and greets/autograph signings. Truely a treasure to our community! He will be missed.

  10. Madd Frank was a staple of my childhood years. I remember staying up late to watch Madd Frank presents and the movies he would present, which eventually led to my fondness of the horror genre of film. Icons like him don’t really exist anymore. Thanks Frank, Harvey, George, Ms. Frizzy and the crew for all the memories.

  11. My parents had a home near his growing up. I remember watching him when I was a young girl on T.V. I remember one time on Halloween my twin sister and I went down his block trick or treating. He was there handing out treats in his uniform. Nice guy. Always thought I was cool I could say I grew up near him.

  12. Del (Madd Frank) was a HUGE part of my adolescence. I loved (and still do) horror movies and the Madd Frank Presents show on KVRR was must see TV! I had the pleasure of meeting him and buying his two DVDs and getting a signed picture at the Fargo Record Show a few years back. It was great visiting him and letting him know how much he meant to me. A true local legend and a gentleman. Rest in peace, Del and thank you so much for all the entertainment!

  13. I’ll never forget those early years for Fox in Fargo when they were starting out. You were there for them and by extension us.

  14. Madd Frank was one of the best things about my childhood. Thank you so much for the memories. Rest in peace.

  15. Sorry for your loss.
    Prayers to you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏

  16. Del was definitely one of a kind!! We met when I was selling advertising for KTHI-TV/KVLY-TV when he was handling Hornbachers. There was NEVER a meeting we had without Del throwing in a very odd factoid to determine if I was listening… like, “… reminds me of fishing. Did I ever tell you the time I caught a 9lb Sunfish?” … wait for my baloney response and start laughing… then into another story.

    He worked downtown, knew everyone downtown… literally everyone. Kind & generous and willing to offer help when it was needed but never asked. Always an educated good time… he tried to raise my literary acumen… but I cannot ever recall having a mundane or boring conversation!

    Love you Del!

  17. He made so many people happy with his gift, such an amazing man. He will be missed. So grateful to have met him .

  18. You shall be missed, you entertained me as a teenager and spoke with me as an adult. Bless you Del.

  19. As a family friend for as long as I can remember, Del always made us laugh and told stories with humor and wit. RIP Madd Frank.
