Frank Gruich Obituary
Dr. Frank G. Gruich, Sr. was born into this life on March 12, 1920, on Point Cadet, Biloxi. He was born through death into everlasting life on September 1, 2007 at Biloxi Regional Medical Center.
Dr. Gruich surmounted huge challenges from working in his grass roots in the shrimp factories to launching his life's love and passion for knowledge and education in medicine. He always credited his Perkinston Junior College days as the catalyst for his career. He graduated from Tulane University Medical School in 1945. He served his internship at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. He then served two years as a Medical Officer in the Army. Upon his discharge as a Captain, he became associated with Dr. Joseph Kuljis in Biloxi and practiced general medicine from 1948 -1952. Dr. Gruich underwent his specialized training in Obstetrics and Gynecology from 1952-1955 at the Confederate Memorial Hospital in Shreveport, La., where he served as Chief Resident his senior year. Dr. Gruich went on to enjoy a distinguished career in medicine that spanned six decades.
Among his many recognitions a highlight in his life was his induction into the 1979 Mississippi Gulf Coast Junior College Hall of Fame at Perkinston Campus, receiving the Sam Owen Award also from Perkinston, and serving on the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College Board of Trustees for over twenty years. He also served for over twenty years on the advisory board of BankcorpSouth. In 2006 the new surgical suite at Biloxi Regional Hospital was dedicated to him where he served as Chief of Staff many years.
Dr. Gruich championed the efforts to keep Catholic education a viable option for all. He served for 39 years on the Catholic School Board always offering his reflective advice and counsel. He remained a stalwart ambassador for the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, his beloved Ole Miss, his faith and Catholic education.
All who know Dr. G. knew of his passion for sports second to none was football. Home life and Sunday dinners were scheduled around "kick-off" as he rooted for his Ole Miss Rebels & New Orleans Saints. In baseball, the Atlanta Braves were his team. He also took on the professional teams, the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Giants, as he continued to support the Manning boys.
Dr. Gruich is survived by his beloved wife and life partner Gracie "Bo" Bodie Gruich; his children: son, Frank G. Gruich, Jr. of Biloxi; daughters: Maureen Gruich of Madison; Suzanne and her husband Dave Prokopchuk of Cypress, Texas; and Mary Grace and her husband Joe Marquardt of Houston, Texas.
Dr. Gruich was blessed with seven grandchildren: Frank Jr.'s children: son, Frankie, III; daughter, Bonnie; and son, Nick & his wife April all of Biloxi; Maureen's daughters: Erin Propst of Madison and Ryan Claire Propst of Tupelo; Mary Grace's sons: Maxim and Cooper Marquardt of Houston, Texas.
Dr. Gruich was preceded in death by his parents: Mitchell, Sr. and Mary (Bohonovich) Gruich; brothers: August "Geagle", Tony "Breezy", Mitchell, Jr., and sister Marie.
The family expresses deep gratitude for your love and prayers in this enormous loss. Memorials can be made to the Dr. Frank G. Gruich, Sr. Scholarship Fund at St. Patrick's Catholic High School or to his beloved charity, The Little Sisters of the Poor, 1655 McGill Avenue, Mobile, AL 36604.1299.

May God Bless you all at this time. We have truly loss a very special man. My 16 years at Howard Memorial Hospital were also enhanced by Dr. Gruich's guidance and friendship. I never felt safer or in better hands when he delivered two of my three children.
He is a very unforgettable man and will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathy to the Gruich family. Dr. Gruich delivered my third son one week before Christmas in 1970 and he was such a wonderful Doctor. Some people had led me to believe that he was a hard Dr. to deal with but nothing was further from the truth. He was so skilled and caring. We will always be grateful to him for his kindness.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked for Dr. Frank in 1979 in his OB office. He used to pick on me about my orange drinks telling me I was going to turn into one. I learned alot from him and he never forgot me. Everytime he saw me he asked me about the orange drink. I will see him in Heaven one day. My prayers are with you.

Dear Gruich Family,
Our prayers go out to you all at this time. Dr. Frank was a classmate of my mother's at St Michael's (Rita Diaz Blessey) and my late father ( Earl Blessey, Sr. ) always used to tease that FG made such good grades at BHS because Dr. Frank copied off of HIM !! They were all great friends and enjoyed their class reunions. Class of '37-BHS. You are in our prayers,

To the Gruich Family,
I want you to know you are in my prayers during this time. I still remember meeting Dr. Gruich when I roomed with his daughter Mary Grace in Jackson Mississippi many years ago and remember how proud he was of her getting her nursing degree and enjoyed celebrating with her entire family after graduation. She spoke so highly of her dad and her entire family. Mary Grace, please call me sometime, I live in Brookhaven and have a daughter named Emma, would love to see you and your family.

Dr Gruich delivered our son Friday, 26 Nov 1971, "Shrimp Bowl Friday." In the delivery room, we were all listening to the Shrimp Bowl on the radio and Dr Gruich came out and told my husband, "We've got six," Meaning points. Needless to say, my husband almost had a coronary!

To the Gruich Family,
Dr. Gruich was so much more to me then my doctor, he was more like my grandfather. He was always there for me. He made me laugh, taught me life lessons, and encouraged me to be the best I could be. I felt his love for me and I will always cherish that. Dr. Gruich and my Paw Paw (Yankie Barhanovich) were the best men in the world to me....and I hope Biloxi will keep the memories of Dr. Gruich alive in our City forever. His love and memory will never fade from my heart.
Dr. G, Thanks for everything you gave me and keep watching over me ok??
I love you with all my heart,

What a wonderful, caring man. I met Dr. Gruich as a child at Sacred Heart Girls High School where Suzanne and I were classmates. As an adult, he became my doctor and delivered my three children. I loved his chairside and bedside humor. I was a patient until he retired. To the family I'd like to say thank you for allowing your husband, father, uncle to care for us when we needed him. May God Bless You and keep your spirits high and give everlasting life to your loved one. Thank You.
