We Celebrate Their Legacy

 

Jeff Mercado
Dec.12th, 1949 – March 18th, 2007



<>Jeff became a member of Flotilla 33 in December of 2004 and was very active in the Auxiliary. Jeff had such a profound love of the Auxiliary that he mustered the strength, with the help of his Almighty God, to attend Auxiliary functions while recovering from cancer. A man of remarkable courage and a firm belief in the Auxiliary’s ability to educate the boating public. In his very brief hitch in the Auxiliary Jeff had become Crew Qualified, FSO-AN, FSO-CS, had taken the exam of the sixth Specialty Course to become AUXOP and was very active in PA affairs and anything else he could assist with. Flotilla 33 was honored to have Jeff as a member and he served in the highest tradition of our organization and he set the bar at a higher level for the rest of us.
