Phyllis, Max was my English teacher and hockey coach in junior high school. He named me to the school hockey team without as much as one practice and he instilled a confidence in me that literally sent me on my way. I will never forget the impact that Max had on my self esteem and my life going forward. Wishing you and the family well.

Dear Phyllis and Family,
I was saddened to hear of Max’s passing. The extended Morris Family first met and loved Max when he was a university student working in the summers at Holiday Hill. I later enjoyed Max as my Grade 7 teacher (deadly at picking off disruptive students with a lightening quick chalk throw). He patiently helped Dulcie and me with a number of home transactions, and our children still remember his upbeat character and wit. Please accept our heartfelt condolences and, rest assured, heaven will be even more bright with his presence. Bill& Dulcie Clarke and Family

Phyllis & family, my sincerest condolences to you all on the passing of Max, he was such a wonderful person. When I entered Real Estate career 35 years ago, Max was my very first Boss in the business. What I learned from him was immeasurable knowledge and over the years I still reached out to him many times for good solid advice. Needless to say, when Bill Stirling asked me ,when giving me my 35 year pin, if anyone in my Real Estate career especially stood out to me, without any hesitation, I said, Max Beckett. Hold close all your wonderful memories of him.
Phyllis and Family. We are so sorry to hear of Max’s passing.. He was well liked for his nice and friendly personality and as a cherished member of our small condo at at Clovelly.
Our condolences and thoughts go out to you at this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss! He was a wonderful teacher! I still have an essay from Grade 7 on which he wrote “This is what makes teaching so worthwhile!” I became a teacher myself and always remembered the power of a positive comment. I am now retired but Max will always be someone I remember!
Mr Beckett was a kind and giving teacher. He was my teacher for grade six at Curtis Academy in St. John’s, NL.
Phyllis and family.
We will always remember Max’s happy smile and cheerful personality. Sincere condolences from both of us.

So sad to read that Mr. Beckett has passed on. I always referred to him as “Mr.” out of respect. He was one of my first hockey coaches. and we won the championship that year. I thought Mr. Beckett was the coolest coach I ever had.
Over the years we would see each other around and he always remembered me and called me by name. He was just a fabulous overall person. RIP Mr Beckett.

One of the very best! I met him as my teacher, and ran into him many times in later life as an adult. Always full of life and laughs. Somebody who seemed to be able to get the most out of every day. He made a difference to a lot of people and surely there are thousands who still smile when they hear his name and remember something he said or did.
Remember him well and often to those he loved.

Our heartfelt condolences to the family. Mr Beckett had a major impact on my personal life, to which I will be forever grateful. Rest in peace.
Phyllis, our sincere sympathy to you and your family. Although we have not been in touch in recent years, we have great memories of 1966-67 when we all lived on Weymouth Street and Roger and Natalie spent many hours playing together.
Our thoughts are with you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and the many friends of your father.

My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you Phyllis and your family, saddened to hear of Max,s passing, cherish your special memories, this will be so difficult for you, as I know,God bless.
Sincere condolences to you Tommy & Dana, Phyllis and all the Beckett family. Max’s bright smile and enthusiasm for life left an indelible mark on all who met him. He was a highly respected and trusted Realtor, a true gentleman.
Phyllis and Family. I was deeply saddened to have read that Max has passed. I have held Max in highest of respect, not only as the greatest teacher ever, ’68 & 69, but also a great friend and mentor. He taught me about poetry and great poets, especially Robert W Service and “The Cremation of Sam McGee”. This poem I remember to this very day. We stayed in touch over the years, both home and Florida. H e always called me on my Birthday, “the Ides of March”, from Shakesperare. You were right, that he would light up a (class)room. You wouldn’t daydream there….you learned. May the Lord be with you all as you journey through this difficult time. God Bless you all.
