1963
Jon Becker
Jon already shows as deceased on the In memorium section of the site.
He was a friend of mine, so I know the day he was brutally murdered. July 12, 1976.

I didn't know that Jon Becker was murdered. His brother Steve was also murdered (at Cal State Fullerton, by a psycopath in the library, if I remember correctly).
I'm a Cal State Fullerton retiree, and during my tenure there, many employees remembered Steve Becker as a wonderful young man. But he was the only Becker to be tragically lost that day. In 2001 the OC Register ran a retrospect on that horrible day, and Jon Becker gave a gracious interview telling how he and his parents had "lived" through the trajedy. In 2010, when I and a few others assisted John Garcia in planning our 50th reunion, he learned of Jon's recent passing at that time. As to Jon, he was a stunner of a guy, and when he came to some of our Friday night parties and played Pete Fountain songs on his clarinet...we just melted.
