Max was
such a joy to visit with when he was working with Doctor Young in
his lab. He always had a story to tell which usually made you have
a big laugh. Although I haven't seen you in years, I never forgot
those times and the fun we had with the stories.
Rest in peace my friend. Evelyn Shellenberger ~ Palm Coast, Florida
Jason and family, I was shocked to see that Max had passed. I have such fond memories of my youth playing golf on those long summer days, and Max would be out there putting on the green or playing a few rounds with us. And anywhere I saw the blue van with the skeleton in the back window, there he was. God Bless. Charlie Matthews ~ Palatka, FL
