Franklin Petri, Sr. (1894-1956).

Frank Petri led three lives: his home life, his law practice and his passionate devotion to "the sharing of his life with those who had alcoholic problems." He died on December 31, 1956, at age 62. In memorial services for the Hennepin County Bar Association, a friend recalled:

"For over fifteen years, he has given unstintingly of his time to counsel and work with men and their families who had serious drinking problems affecting their lives. To a substantial extent, he has been responsible for the permanent recovery of more than 150 men and women severing from alcoholism."
