Max made every day a happy day with his singing, jokes, and laughter. Even at the very end, he was still smiling, telling jokes, and making people laugh. His last request when he passed on was to have roses sent to his sweetheart.
He was always concerned for anyone in need. He was a very kind and giving person and cared about everyone's feelings and how they were. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather, and a fabulous sweetheart to his wives. He loved life to the fullest. He will be missed tremendously.
