Menlo Park, California

Max Rondoni of Menlo Park died March 11 of a massive heart attack at the age of 78. Mr. Rondoni taught Sunday school at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church for 17 years.

"He especially enjoyed teaching young children and toddlers for their simple faith," says his daughter, Susan Grant.

Mr. Rondoni was born in San Jose and served in the Korean War. He attended Stanford University and worked as a financial consultant in Menlo Park.

Through the Highland Christian Church in Burlingame, he was involved in mission work, especially in the Ukraine and Latin America, for almost 20 years, say family members. Mr. Rondini was a member of the Italian-American Social Club in Menlo Park. He enjoyed playing piano and often entertained at local nursing homes.

He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Lois Rondini of Menlo Park; children Susan Grant, Pamela Ascanio, Marlowe Rondini, and Marguerite Steele.
