Frank was a graduating member of the St. George High School of 1957. Upon high school graduation, he served as a US Marine for four years, and he was forever proud to be a Marine.  He retired from the Charleston Naval Shipyard where he served as electronics instructor and supervisor in the Module Maintenance Facility.  As a supervisor he continued to serve his fellow Marines by applying his electronic skills to support security at Marine bases.  For over twenty years, he owned and operated Frank’s TV Service which later became Frank’s Electronics. Frank was a deacon at Old St. George Baptist Church.  He was blessed with the spiritual gift of teaching, and as long as his health allowed, he readily served as Sunday School teacher.  He was most proud of his marriage to the love of his life, Elvenia  Marchant Fralix, and the family they built together. Throughout his life, he cherished raising his four daughters and often shared stories about his family with pride. He was affectionately known as “Pepaw” to his grands, and in recent years, he found great joy in spending time with his great grands, creating lasting memories with them.  Above all, he emphasized the importance of keeping Christ as the foundation of our lives, inspiring those around him with his steadfast faith and devotion.
