A Celebration of Life service will take place March 10 for Philip Rodney Ronzone, who died Feb. 23, 2001, at Los Angeles, Calif. He was 57.

Mr. Ronzone was born Feb. 9, 1944, at Loma Linda, Calif., and had been a resident of the Tahoe area for 25 years. He graduated from South Tahoe High School and served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1961 to 1965. He had an active membership in the Lake Tahoe Kiwanis Club and was on the board of directors from 1971 to 1977 and was president from 1975 to 1976. Mr. Ronzone was always active in the Tahoe community and was a member of the South Lake Tahoe Planning Commission from 1973 to 1976 and coached Pop Warner and Little League Baseball from 1978 to 1982. He became a resident of Scottsdale, Ariz., in 1989, where he resided until December 2000, when he relocated to Southern California.

Mr. Ronzone took pride in all his children and their varied accomplishments and was always surrounded by an unlimited supply of friends to share his pride with. Among his life’s pleasures were a well trimmed green, calm winds and plenty of good friends to golf with. He also enjoyed participating on many recreational softball and basketball teams. His charm, wit and active spirit will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.
