I met Max nearly a year ago when my father became a resident of Bishop Drumm. On that first day as I wheeled Dad to the dining room he chose to sit with Max and another gentleman named Gene. I so enjoyed visiting with Max and he had such wonderful stories to share. He especially liked visiting with my husband when he came because they would share stories of military camps, battles, purple hearts, etc. Max was always a gentleman and took his faith very seriously. I will always remember him at the table offering a prayer. My dad and Gene will miss him,
too. Prayers to all his family.

We worked many years with Max at the Post Office. He was always telling great stories, he visited my brothers grave often and said a little prayer each time. This always touched my heart, will always have found memories of Max. RIP

Max was a co-worker of mine for many years and he was a joy to work with. Psalm 116: 15, "Precious in the sight of the Lord are the death of His godly ones."
