Thoughts with the entire family during this difficult time. Glad my girls had Bob in their lives as a Papa. We enjoyed working with Bob at CIGNA as well. He always had a smile.

I worked with Robert at Charleston County and he was alot of fun to be around. You could always count on him to be here in his old truck and there to be stuff all in the bed. One time he came in the parts room and there was a scam caller trying to get information to steal his identity and he handed me his phone, I had them convinced of all kinda crazy things about him having a trap house and running from the govenment. He was alot of fun and this world was a better place with him in it.

Very sorry to hear Mr. Fralix passed. I can remember many times my dad and I being at his house or him at ours. He was a kind man and a true role model.
