Dr. Allan Israel Frankel passed away Oct. 7, 2021, in Los Angeles, Calif., after a two-year battle with prostate cancer. He is survived by his children, Josh (Amy) of Portland, Aaron (Carrie) and Shira (Andy); eight grandchildren; sister, Estelle (Steve); niece, Miriam; nephew, Elon (Katie); and his dear friend Larry (Trish).
Born in 1951 in New York to Holocaust survivors, Allan spent most of his childhood in Northern California before attending UCLA for undergraduate and medical school. He finished second in his class at the UCLA School of Medicine and worked for two decades as a private practice internal medicine doctor. In the early 2000s, he transitioned his career to focus on cannabis medicine.  As the founder and CEO of Greenbridge Medical, he became one of the world’s leading authorities on cannabis dosing. Allan traveled the world to see patients and consult with other cannabis experts. Allan had a tremendous passion for medicine and will be remembered as a highly skilled and empathetic physician. He was also an innovator who helped develop two medical software programs  – Chartscape and eScript.
Allan could always be counted on for a joke and making people laugh.  His patients would often comment about how his sense of humor made them feel at ease despite uncomfortable health conditions.  His sarcasm and sense of humor will be greatly missed by his family and friends. 
Donations in his memory can be made to the Oregon Holocaust Memorial and Education Endowment Fund at OJCF or the Red Cross.  As an alternative, please consider making a blood donation in his honor. The generosity of others through blood transfusions helped sustain him the last year of his life. 
A celebration of life is scheduled for Nov. 7 at 4 pm on Zoom:  us02web.zoom.us/j/86385801732
