Loretta, Terry, Todd, and the whole family,
It was very hard to hear Max has passed — I still remember all our Christmas dinners and time spent together. He never failed to make us laugh, and I will always remember his passion for life and the community.
Sorry for your loss.
Thinking of you all today. Max was a wonderful co-worker at NLHC. He was a gentle soul who went out of his way for everyone he worked with.
Loretta and family.
Max & I were co-workers from the time I joined NLHC until his retirement; for many years we occupied adjacent offices. He was always so helpful and supportive. We also spent many hours discussing His community service, which he enjoyed so much. A true gentleman and great friend. Thinking of you all at this time. RIP Max.

Uncle Max was far and away the smartest member of our family. I think that’s what I’ll remember most about him. He always carried himself with distinguished confidence, even when Uncle Derek tried to drag him into nonsense 🙂 Thinking about you at this difficult time and sorry I can’t be there this week.
I will see you guys at Christmas.
Lots of Love,
Kristopher
