RIP Alvin Franklin

You have the wrong Alvin Franklin in mind sir. The one in pic works for UH Athletics, not even sure he’s a UH Alum.

The Alvin Franklin that passed was member of 82-84 Coogs teams during Phi Slama Jama era. The funeral service has happened and Hakeem Olajuwon was there along w many of his former teammates were in attendance.

Maybe this will help. May he RIP.

It was during the time I was there 1981-85. I saw most of the home games. He was great. So sad.

Jesse22 - Thanks for the clarification. After I read your post I searched LinkedIn. The Alvin Franklin in CP is not a U of H alum. My error in posting previously.

No problem at all. You weren’t the only that was confused, when the former Coog passed away.
