JON SCHNEIDER, 50,
of San Diego, Calif.,
passed away on Sept. 6,
2017, after a coura-
geous eight-month bat-
tle with cancer.
Jon embraced life
and maintained a
Schneider
remarkable will to live,
asking “What’s next?”
until his last days. He
looked forward to the
upcoming holidays and simchahs with
family. He adored his wife, Molly, more
than words can say, and she was his
determined and constant best friend
and advocate, by his side day and night
during his illness.
Jon was a hockey player and an avid
sports fan who was true to the Padres
through thick and thin, but his truest
allegiances were to his home team,
the New York Yankees (Jon grew up in
Hewlett, N.Y.), the Arizona State Sun
Devils, his alma mater, and, above all,
the Powerhouse, Little League, compe-
tition dance groups, ASB committees
and other pursuits of his incredibly tal-
ented kids. Most recently, he was a huge
Alabama fan; it is where his daughter

Allie attends school.
Jon, most of all, loved his family,
including his in-laws, his extended
family and the friends who have been
so close that they really are family.
He was also exceptionally devoted to
the Jewish community in San Diego,
Israel and around the world. Jon was
a member of the Jewish Federation
of North America’s Young Leadership
Cabinet and traveled with the cabinet
to communities in need around the
world, experiences that moved him pro-
foundly. He was a member of the board
of the Jewish Federation of San Diego
and a chair of its Israel and Overseas
Committee. Jewish continuity, connec-
tion and tikkun olam were his guiding
principles. He was a longtime member
of Congregation Beth Israel.
Jon moved to San Diego not long
after graduating from Arizona State
University and made it his home.
Though a 25-year resident of Southern
California, Jon always remained a con-
summate New Yorker and never lost his
taste for a real pastrami sandwich and
good slice of pizza. But it was in San
Diego where he met Molly and began
a career in sports marketing, where he

made lifelong relationships and friend-
ships with colleagues around the world.
He was also a watch aficionado and
spent years traveling and pursuing that
business as well.
Jon’s happiest and proudest moments
were sharing in both the remarkable
accomplishments and the everyday con-
versations with his family. Jon was truly
a treasure; he will be sorely missed and
remembered forever.
Mr. Schneider was the loving husband
of Molly Hauser Schneider; the devoted
father of three wonderful children,
Allison, Melissa and Jeremy; the son of
Gail and Ira Schneider of Scottsdale,
Ariz.; brother of Meredith Schneider of
Scottsdale; son-in-law of Jan and Mark
Hauser of Bloomfield Hills; brother-in-
law of Sandy Hauser and Jeff Parness
of New York City, and Michael and
Julie Hauser of Oak Park; uncle of nine
special nieces and nephews. Jon leaves
behind aunts, uncles and cousins,
whom he adored, and many, many good
friends.
The family wishes to thank the doc-
tors and incredible staff at UCSD for
their wonderful support.

IRVING SIEGEL, 99, of
Southfield, died Sept. 8,
2017.
He was an active
member and volunteer
with B’nai B’rith, JARC,
ALS and many other

Siegel
tions. He was also the

standing member of
Wabeek Country Club.
