AFA extends its deepest condolences to the family of Frank Broyles, who passed away from Alzheimer's disease. In addition being the University of Arkansas' legendary football coach and athletic director, Mr. Broyles was the co-founder of one of our longtime member organizations, The Broyles Foundation, which provides education and support to families affected by Alzheimer's disease. Having been a caregiver for his wife, who died of Alzheimer's in 2004, he wanted to make sure that no family affected by this disease had to undertake the journey alone. His legacy of serving and helping others will be felt for many years to come.
