Elvin "Breeze" Bosarge,

Elvin “Breeze” Bosarge, Jr., age 87, of the Latimer Community, passed away peacefully in Biloxi on September 25, 2014. Breeze was the owner of Bosarge’s Grocery on Oak St. in Biloxi for many years. Best known for having the coldest Barq’s Root beer around, it was a gathering place for family and friends to meet, tell stories, and try to solve the day’s problems! When he moved to Latimer, he enjoyed growing his gardens and tending to his animals on his “Breezy Acres”, as it was called. He was preceded in death by his parents, Elvin and Isabelle “Issy” Bosarge; his loving wife, Rose Galle Bosarge; his sister, Shannon Rabine; his brother, Ira “Buck” Bosarge; and stepson, Henry Ladnier. Breeze is survived by one daughter, Marie “Tonette” Cruse (fiancé, Tom Weakley); one granddaughter, Brandy Reid (Carl); two step-daughters, Charlotte Yost (Charles) and Frances Tapper; nine step-grandchildren, Chuck Yost, Angela McMurphy, Scott Ladnier, Stacey Tufo, Stephen Ladnier, Tony Tapper, Chris Tapper, Timmy Tapper, and Richey Tapper; and several precious great-grandchildren. The family wishes to thank the staff of Biloxi Community Living Center and the family and friends who supported us with visits and prayers. In lieu of flowers the family prefers donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, 196 Charmant Dr., Suite #4, Ridgeland, MS 39157 or ALZFDN.org. A funeral service will be at the Howard Avenue Chapel of Bradford-O’Keefe Funeral Home on Monday, September 29, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. Friends may visit from 2:30 p.m. until the service.
