Francis Charles "Frank" Harper was the father of Charles Francis "Charlie" Harper and Alan Jerome Harper, the husband of Evelyn Nora Harper and the grandfather of Jacob David "Jake" Harper and Jenny Harper.
Death[]
It is known that Evelyn emasculated him all the time. He died of food poisoning after he ate a fish that was in the kitchen drawer for two months. Charlie claimed that he knew that it was there and still ate it, implying that he committed suicide rather than stay married. Charlie further claims this fact when he reveals that his reason for hating Evelyn was that she drove his father to his early grave.
Trivia[]
- He possibly has a daughter named Gloria with another woman named Dorothy, as he and Evelyn would sometimes switch partners with Dorothy and her husband.
- It was speculated that Frank would appear in an episode, perhaps in flashbacks, and he would be played by Charlie Sheen but this was denied and is now unlikely since Charlie Sheen was fired.
- His name, Francis Charles Harper, is the backward version of his son's (Charlie) name, Charles Francis Harper.
- Alan revealed that Frank was cremated when Evelyn mentioned "I want to be buried by your father" only for Alan to correct her and Evelyn to reply "Oh, right, I'm thinking about someone else."
