I am so sorry for the loss of such a good man. Max and I were like brothers when were in high school, for a while. I wish that I could come to W.C.H. this week, but, unfortunately, medical obligations with my wife are making the trip impossible. I am praying for all of his family in the hopes that the pain that you all feel will be overshadowed with all of the fond memories of his wonderful life.
Becky many prayers to you and Maxs children I know this is a hugh loss to you all God Bless Fly High Max
I graduated with Max in 1971 and remember him as one of the nicest members in our graduating class, and always enjoyed talking with him at our reunions. I send my heartfelt condolences to his family.
