Honor Roll
We keep a running Honor Roll and add names to the list as we become aware of the death of a Seahorse. Please review the names listed below and determine if you know of anyone who we do not have listed or if you know the date of death or circumstances surrounding the death of anyone on the list. We also keep a list of family members of deceased Seahorses and invite them to our reunions as well as notifying them of our Memorial Service and Honor Roll.
