My thoughts and prayers are always with Bill as he will always be remembered. By our standards, too short a life but one filled with accomplishments others can only dream of. He was bigger than life then, now and always. Rest In Peace my friend.

Although gone, never forgotten. Your impact on the football field was obvious to all but what you accomplished off the field and the many lives you touched will forever be remembered. Your legacy will impact many for generations to come.

First off I offer my condolences to the whole Fralic family. I knew Bill (little bull) thru his brothers Joe and Mike where we all played sports for opposing teams and caddying at Alcoma Golf Course. My dad (John J Stimac Sr) was the caddymaster at Alcoma. He always spoke very high of Bill and held him up with the up most respect. R.I.P. brother!

I was sad to see this news. Bill was a great union president (Edgewater Steel) who guided the membership through tough times, and was also a real gentleman in dealing with me and others at the Steelworkers International Headquarters in downtown Pittsburgh. He was a credit to the labor movement.

My condolences to the Family for your loss. I have many fond memories of Mr. Fralic growing up in North Bessemer. He was always at our football or baseball games and heavily involved with all his sons with sports. I remember little things like the large dogs the family always had...everything about Mr. Fralic seemed larger then life....he was a big man whose presence was felt everywhere he went....a hard worker that instilled the same qualities in his sons who were all successful athletes and successful later men in life. R.I.P Mr. Fralic....you left a lasting impression on all that had the pleasure of knowing you...you will be missed and never forgotten.

Dotty,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. I will always remember Bill as a larger than life man that I always looked up to. I started paying attention in school because he would always ask me as I passed him while walking home "What did you learn today?" and I didn't want to disappoint him, so I made sure to have an answer!

You and Bill will always be remembered as a part of my childhood on Loretta Dr. The red wine Bill always had for my mom, Ida and Max at Christmas, the stories they shared, their laughter, will last forever in our hearts.

Love,
Crissy Callender-Bewszka & Family
