Martin Paul Baronich jr. was one of the eight sons of Martin Baronich and Antonia Jelusich. After WW II was underway, he and two of his seven brothers rushed inot the fray to save our country. Martin and Victor Baronich joined the US Coast Guard and Harold Baronich enlisted in the US Navy.</span></span><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">After basic and advanced military training at San Diego, California, martin baronich was assigned to the USS Serpens [AK-77], which was commissioned May 28, 1943. The vessel was sent to the South Pacific theatre to engage the Japanese naval forces in that region. The USS Serpens had the most dangerous of assignements, as an ammunition and cargo supply carrier.</span></span><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">If you know military history, you surely know that a stunning percentage of military deaths are caused by friendly fire and failure. Martin Baronich Jr. was a victim of the latter. He was topside near a cargo hold where the supplies were being transferred from the USS Serpens, when a swinging boom\'s rigging knocked him into the hold. In the 35-foot fall, the twenty-one year old sailor broke his neck and other bones. Martin died two hours after the accident.</span></span><br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Eight years later Martin\'s corporal remains were shipped to Biloxi, Mississsippi accompained by a US Coast Guard sailor.&nbsp; His body was reinterred in the Southern Memorial Park cemetery on Biloxi\'s West Beach.

The first was located at Romano and Alfonse, and the second was located at 10<sup>th</sup> and Gregory.&nbsp; In 1903, the Irving family, which was very dear friends of the Dubaz family, convinced John Dubaz that he could be very successful at Biloxi, Mississippi.&nbsp; He could have his store and his boys could also work in the oyster business.&nbsp; So he and Maggie and the boys moved to Biloxi by boat.&nbsp; The name of the vessel was the ‘Maggie-K’.&nbsp; She was owned by Tom Powell and his wife who brought the family to Biloxi.&nbsp;</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\">When they arrive in Biloxi in early 1903, George Dubaz was sixteen years old; John Dubaz was thirteen; Doffie was eleven; and Luke Dubaz was six.&nbsp; The first house that they lived in was the Wesley house at the corner of Cedar Street and East Beach.&nbsp; It is known today as the Holy Angels Nursery.&nbsp; They stayed there about one and one-half years and then moved across the street to a four-room house with a dormer.&nbsp; It was located where St. Michael’s Catholic Church is presently located.&nbsp; John Dubaz then acquired a lot at 1417 East 1<sup>st</sup> Street and started building the Dubaz family residence, which was completed in 1905, at a cost of $200.&nbsp; The home today is owned by Aunt Lillie, the spouse of George Dubaz.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><strong>MUSICIANS</strong></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\">In the year 1907, the old St. Michael’s Church was built across the street from the family home.&nbsp; The contractor was Delmas Seymour.&nbsp; After the church was completed, Mrs. Seymour played the piano for the church and Doffie Dubaz started taking piano lessons from her.&nbsp; George Dubaz then decided to take fiddle lessons so Professor Hammersbach from St. Stanislaus College came every Monday&nbsp; from Bay St. Louis to teach him and others music.&nbsp; John Dubaz took coronet and trumpet lessons.&nbsp; As thing turned out, all four boys became very accomplished and very popular musicians.&nbsp; They had their own orchestra as George played violin, Johnny played trumpet and cornet, Rudolf played trombone, piano, bass violin and alto horn while Luke was the band’s drummer.&nbsp; Circa 1910, the Dubaz brothers joined the Biloxi Herald Band and played for many years.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/Dubaz%20Brothers%20boats%20andfactory.jpg\" style=\"height:145px;

They opened a shop at 1417 East Beach on land owned by Charles McCaleb.&nbsp; George and John Dubaz joined the business in 1915 to form the first Dubaz Brothers shop.&nbsp; On May 17, 1915 Rudolf Dubaz, the third son, wed Ella Scanlon, the niece of Mr. and Mrs. William Martens.&nbsp; In 1916, the Dubaz boys relocated their business to Back Beach [Back Bay] on property owned by&nbsp; the Ott family.&nbsp;</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\">About this time, John Dubaz Sr. closed his store next to the family home on 1<sup>st</sup> Street and it became the headquarters for the Point Cadet Social Club [PCSC].&nbsp; In the latter part of 1917, the Dubaz Brothers closed their seafood shop because of WW I.&nbsp; George and John Dubaz enlisted in the US Army.&nbsp; Rudolf stayed in Biloxi and worked for the Cruso Canning Company.&nbsp;

There were also two marriages in 1919.&nbsp; The second first generation marriage occurred when Luke Dubaz wedded Inez Gable, the daughter of William E. and Willomenia Gable on February 20<sup>th</sup>.&nbsp; A short while later the third first generation marriage took place when John Dubaz Jr,, the second son, wed Cecile Andre, the daughter of George and Laura Andre on March 3, 1919.&nbsp;</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\">Shortly after these marriages, Doffie Dubaz decided to get out of the business and work for himself.&nbsp; In 1927, the Dubaz boys sold the two businesses on Back Beach and built a new factory on East Beach on property owned by Ernest Mladinich.&nbsp; They grew a fleet of eight fishing boats.&nbsp; John Dubaz Sr. died on February 1, 1931.&nbsp; Mary Magdeline Dubaz followed him in death passing on June 30, 1932.&nbsp; Both were interred at the Biloxi Cemetery.&nbsp; The fourth first generation marriage took place when George Dubaz, the oldest son, wed Lillie Wescovich, the daughter of Peter Wescovich and Mary Ellen Ross Wescovich (1881-1956) on February 24, 1937.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\">For the next seven years the Dubaz family prospered and the second generation was growing fast.&nbsp; By this time, there were five second generation marriages.&nbsp; In early 1944, John Dubaz Jr., my father, succumbed to an illness and never recovered.&nbsp; He died on July 7, 1944 and is interred at the Biloxi Cemetery.&nbsp; In 1969, only two of the Dubaz brothers, George and Luke, remained in the seafood business.&nbsp; Although Doffie Dubaz wasn’t in the business, he worked right along with them.&nbsp; In August 1969, Hurricane Camille destroyed the their business on Biloxi’s East Beach so they relocated their enterprise to Back Bay, almost exactly where it had been in 1919.&nbsp; In 1976 sadness again visited the Dubaz family when on January 28<sup>th</sup>, George Dubaz, the oldest son expired.&nbsp; He was interred in the Southern Memorial Park cemetery.&nbsp; As of the last day of this writing, April 19, 1980, first generation members of the John Dubaz Sr. family living are: Cecile, Rudolf, Ella, Luke, Inez and Lillie Dubaz.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\">**</span></span></strong><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif;

Larry was a charter member of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church. He worked in discipleship alongside Father Paul Heshin, other priests and parishioners in building the parish. Over the years, Larry served his Lord in many ways including bazaars, Christmas tree sales, Bingos, school functions, committees and much more.

Michael was a lifelong resident of Biloxi and a member of Biloxi High School’s class of 1969, where among many other activities, he was most proud of playing percussion and representing as the Band Captain. He was also voted most kind by his peers. Early on in Michael’s career he went to work offshore for Texaco as a Navigator in the oil and exploration field. After his career with Texaco, he set his sight on the gaming industry where he worked for The Casino Magic, The Lady Luck and finally the Palace Casino which was his 2nd family. After 19 years with the Palace Casino he retired July 2017. </span><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); color:rgb(64, 64, 64)\">Michael was also a member of the Slavic Benevolent Association and was of Catholic faith. Michael had several interests and hobbies which included cooking the best pot of chicken and sausage gumbo, his love of horse racing, his annual trip to New York, and playing Booray. These combined couldn’t surpass his love of the time he spent with his grandchildren which was his greatest joy.&nbsp;</span><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); color:rgb(64, 64, 64)\">He is preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence “Larry” Dubaz Sr. and Ramona (Trebotich) Dubaz and brother, Lawrence “Larry” Dubaz Jr. He is survived by his brother, Danny (Susan) Dubaz; his first wife, Cynthia Galle; his second wife and best friend, Cheryl Dubaz; his son, Michael (Amanda) Dubaz; his daughters, Ramona (Perry) Grice and Linley (Jonathon) Forehand; and his step daughter, Kimberly Breal.

Michael was incredibly funny with a great sense of humor and he had the most generous heart. It’s an understatement to say that during his life he met many people from all over the country who Michael became great friends with. Michael knew just about everyone and everyone knew him.
