\t\t\tElliott S. Moses Jr. \t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Eighty-seven years of grit, humor, and love\u2013Elliott was larger than life. He created a world of adventure, friendship, and merriment, showing a sincere interest in every person he met.<\/p>\n
Elliott was born in New York City to Elliott Schofield Moses Sr. and Margaret Eva Livingston, both of whom he\u2019d lost by eight years of age. Determined, at 17 he joined the Navy and served aboard the USS Princeton. Afterward, he attended UCLA, where he became president of his fraternity (ATO) and lived abroad in Brazil and Mexico. Later, he had a proud career as a deputy city and district attorney in San Diego.<\/p>\n
A lifelong seaman, he went from being a Sea Scout to sharing the gift of sailing with his sons. In retirement, he was a docent on the USS Midway, offering salty tales in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.<\/p>\n
He took his greatest pride in being a father and grandfather. His kindness, love, and unconditional support extended to the rest of his family and each one of his many friends. His presence was a constant joy.<\/p>\n
Elliott is survived by his three sons, Elliott III (Jeannie), Tyler (Carolyn), and Spencer; and his five grandchildren, Jake, Skylar, Nicholas, Cooper, and Parker. <\/p>\n
Elliott lived a full, satisfying life, leaving behind a treasure trove of rich stories. When he peacefully set sail on his new beginning, he was accompanied by his loved ones and his favorite music. Though filled with sorrow, his family is deeply comforted knowing he has been reunited with his parents, little sister, and all of his dogs. <\/p>\n
