Howard Joseph Rindone

September 14, 1938 - September 21, 2021

CHULA VISTA, CA — Howard Joseph Rindone was born in National City on September 14, 1938, to Joseph Rindone, Jr. and Maxine Rindone. He passed away on September 21, 2021 with his wife and children at his side.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Helga, son David, daughter Debbie Blanchard and son-in-law Randy Blanchard. He also leaves behind two grandchildren, Hayden and Rylee Rindone and his brother Jerry Rindone and sister-in-law Jennie Rindone.

He graduated from Chula Vista High School and was a graduate of San Diego State University. He was a life-long educator, having served in the Sweetwater Union High School District for 40 years.

He began his career at Mar Vista Junior High, and then transferred to Castle Park High School when it opened in 1963. He spent the rest of his career at Castle Park High, retiring in June of 1999 as Assistant Principal, Dean of Student Activities.

Howard was one of the driving forces that established and maintained the Castle Park Trojan traditions. His passion was to develop student leaders and empower them and generally encourage and mentor students in a most positive way. At his retirement he was honored by the school by being named “Noblest Trojan of Them All.”

He was a loyal and dedicated husband and an awesome father, and his love of family was always evident. Camping and traveling with his wife and children remained life-long passions. Summers were spent traveling around the country in their RV.

Memorial services will be held on Tuesday, October 12 at 10:00 a.m. at Community Congregational Church, 276 F Street, in Chula Vista. Following the service there will be reception from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Chula Vista Golf Course, 4475 Bonita Road in Bonita.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Howard Rindone Trojan Foundation at Castle Park High School, 1395 Hilltop Drive, Chula Vista, CA 91911.

Our family warmly welcomes all who wish to attend.
