The American Dream
On July 10, 1930, Jimmy was born in Isabela, Puerto Rico. As he grew older, James had a dream: an American dream. A dream to move to the United States and build a better life for himself.
When Jimmy turned 20, he bought a plane ticked to the U.S. He landed a job in Flint, Mich., in pursuit of that dream. A few years later, he met Nancy Bos. They soon married and brought three beautiful children into the world. They purchased a home in Slinger in the summer of 1970.
Just 20 years later, our dad was living the American dream. Jimmy always put his family first. He was a devoted father and a loving husband. Jimmy accepted Jesus as a Savior and was a dedicated member of Calvary Assembly of God Church in West Bend. He was a wonderful, loving, caring and tenderhearted Christian man. A man whose cup of compassion never ran out.
Jimmy Mercado sought the American dream and he lived it. A true patriotic American who went to be with the Lord Jesus on July 30.
Survivors include his wife, Nancy, of Slinger; three children, Marilou (David) Schoessow-Mercado of West Bend, James (Cheri) of Pewaukee and Joe Louis (DeAnn) of Madison; three grandchildren, Ellie, Holly and Vanessa; and a grandson to be Johnathan.
