Frank Bryce: his life and times

[Steve Vander Ark]

No: HPFGUIDX 18902

Frank Bryce was born in late summer or fall of 1917. He served in the 
beginning of World War II and came home in the early 1940s with an 
injured leg and a somewhat anti-social demeanor. He served as the 
Riddle's gardener for several years. During the summer of 1944, Tom 
Riddle Jr. showed up and murdered his father and grandparents in 
their drawing room. Frank was nearing his 27th birthday at the time. 
For the following fifty years, Frank tended the grounds of the Riddle 
house. Then one night in July of 1994, fifty years later, he 
discovered that the old house had been broken into by a strange group 
of beings: Voldemort, Nagini, and Wormtail. Voldemort killed Frank 
Bryce. He was nearing his 77th birthday when he died.

Using the assumption that "fifty years" can be taken literally -- and 
for the purposes of the timeline, we do assume that -- this 
information is canon.
