Max was one of those who truly could be called one of the most unforgettable characters I ever met-in the best sense.  We have lost a lot of fun in life. Wherever you are, keep up the good life.

My sincere condolences to Max's family in the loss of both Karen and Max within a few weeks. Even though we have been geographically separated for many decades, Max was a fun cousin who I grew up with less than a mile away. As a result, I have many fond memories of playing games in the evenings with other cousins under moonlight and a large pole light. All the best as you grieve his loss and miss his presence.

I was unable to attend Karen’s funeral so I was going to send you a card and tell you how sorry I was for your loss.  You didn't give me a chance to send that card my friend as you needed to be with Karen instead and I totally understand.  Even though I did not get to see you very often anymore you always put a smile on my face when I did.  Farewell friend…
