God saw that Bussy was getting weary, so he came and stood beside him and said, 
“Come and rest and get your heavenly reward.” 

A native of Madisonville, and resident of Baton Rouge, George A. “Bussy” Mire 
Jr., 84, died Monday morning, Oct. 17, 2011, at Sunrise Senior Living on

Bussy enlisted in the Navy during World War II and served as aviation radioman 
third class stationed in Jacksonville, Fla. After the war ended, he lettered in 
LSU varsity baseball in 1948 under Coach Harry Rabenhorst. 
He worked with his father at his family’s sawmill and lumberyard in 
Houltonville. 

In 1950, he married Marie “Patsy” Wolfe and together raised their six children 
in Covington. 

He spent most of his career at Pre-stressed Concrete Products, Inc. during the 
construction of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. 
After retirement, he and Patsy traveled all over the United States, Canada, and 
Mexico in their motor home. 
They spent many Septembers in Gulf Shores with their children and 
grandchildren. 

He is survived by his daughters and their spouses, Jean Anne Mire, Searcy, 
Ark.; Nancy and Lonnie Beverly, Baton Rouge; Marian and Keith Bruhl, Folsom;

Raymond, Cody Bruhl, Stephen and Paul Mire, and Margaret and Andrew Mire, and 
one great-granddaughter, Rose Marie Raymond. 

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Marie “Patsy” Wolfe Mire. 

The family would like to thank the staff at Sunrise Senior Living for their 
loving and compassionate care.
