Pitt Great Bill Fralic Passed Away

[Ron Burgundy]

Bill Fralic dies from cancer at 56. Penn Hills native and Pitt offensive lineman, played with Atlanta and Detroit in the NFL. A college bud of mine related a story about playing against him in high school. Said he was like, this will be easy when he was a senior and heard he was going up against a 9th grader but then he saw the 9th grader was 6'4" 240 and beat the snot out of him the whole game. Fralic recently paid for hotel rooms for the whole Penn Hills team at Hershey for the state championship game. R.I.P.

That sucks.

Way too young, and agree, cancer sucks.

Heart goes out to his family, R.I.P.

Fralic also bought Penn Hills new head sets for the season. Heard nothing but great things about the guy and he will certainly be missed by many.

I wanted to express my sympathy and condolences to his family.
