On June 10, 1953 Andrew and Greta Beasley welcomed a bouncing baby boy to their large family. He was named Edward Gene Beasley. As Edward grew his bowed legs lead to him being called BOLEG. He was very much loved by his parents and the 9 siblings before him so he was quickly spoiled.
BOLEG as he was affectionately known matriculated through the Clarksdale Public Schools. As a young adult he moved to Aurora, Illinois and throughout most of the ensuing years he lived in Illinois and various other states. In 2012 he had a hankering to moved back to Clarksdale to be closer to his mother, Mrs. Greta. Unfortunately his mother passed away that same year but he remained in Clarksdale.
BOLEG parlayed his talents and skills in various professions. He was a certified welder, a maintenance worker, and a pool hall manager. After returning to Clarksdale he joined Larry Turner working in the Hot Tamale and restaurant business before joining the staff at Great River Road Country Store.
BOLEG was a voracious reader. He loved doing crossed word puzzles and Sudoku and playing solitary. An avid huntsman, fisherman, and shooting pool were his favorite pastime relaxing activities.
