MAX WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AS A TALL BLOND HUNK WHO BLUSHED INCESSANTLY WHENEVER A GIRL SPOKE TO HIM! I HEARD SOMEWHERE AT ONE OF OUR EARLIER REUNIONS THAT HE WAS A HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH TEACHER (NOT TRUE). I TALKED TO MAX SINCE OUR 50TH REUNION AND HE SPOKE ABOUT HIS COLLEGE YEARS, HIS DRINKING AND SMOKING, AND WONDERED IF THE EVENTUAL DEATH OF A HS CLASSMATE WAS NOT RELATED TO THEIR AUTO CRASH ROLL. AFTER DRINKING.
HE WAS VERY CANDID AND CONVERSIVE, BUT AT THE END OF OUR CONVERSIVE HE SAID, "WHAT IS YOUR NAME AGAIN?" HAHAHAHAHA
MAX'S MEMBERSHIP IN THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF MASONS AND EASTERN STAR SURELY SPEAKS OF HIS HONOR AND INTEGRITY.
GOD BLESS YOU, MAX. WE ALL HOPE TO SEE YOU "UP THERE"....

Max was indeed a good friend to many of us, both in classes and in extracurricular activities. I remember his infectious good wit.
I am sorry to learn of his death at this late date.
Peace to Max and to all of our fallen classmates.
