Jon Caryl House

JON CARYL HOUSE, age 75, died quietly at home on January 11, 2015. Jon was born in Minneapolis, MN on April 8, 1939. At age four, he and his family relocated to South San Francisco. After high school graduation, Jon joined the Air Force based in Denver, Colorado. There he met the love of his life, Marjorie Obrecht. They were married just four months later. Soon after, Jon was transferred to Hamilton Air Force Base in Novato, CA. Following his service in the Air Force, he began a career with Chevron spanning 32 years. Known and loved as an outgoing and generous person, Jon enjoyed being the "go-to" man for his entire family. He was always there to share his guidance, time or expertise. He enjoyed softball, bowling and golf, and was a faithful 49er fan. He and Marjorie loved traveling, exploring many new places together. He was clever, witty and kind, and always ready to tell an animated story. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Marjorie; children: Gary (Betty) House, David (Yvonne) House, Lori (Mike) Salerno, Suzy (Shane) Symons; grandchildren: Ashley (Matt) Brand, Heather, Brent and Dylan House, Sara and Lauren House, Joe and Robbie Salerno, Brooke and Jake Symons; sisters: Betty Murray and Debbie House; and a large extended family.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Cureasc.org, an organization funding research of Angiosarcoma.
