This news truly hurts my heart and brings tears to my eyes. It has been a very long time since I have seen you Chris, or Max. Life is just always busier than we would like it to be. I know your heart is broken into a million pieces Chris. I wish I could take the pain of such an enormous loss away. Max was truly one of the sweetest most genuine people on earth. Every time I saw him he had a smile on his face and he made me happier to just be around him. I am praying for you Chris and your family. My thoughts are with you all.

When you were with Uncle Max, he had a knack of making you feel like you were the most important person in the world. He kept constant attention on you. Like my brother mentioned, I’ll also miss his stories, but the stories I received from Uncle Max were always coupled with advice, good ideas, and inspiration to my best. My love and thoughts are with you both.

Max was our calm before a big storm and the calm after the storm. He was a fine man and a great co-worker. I worked with Max many years and he saved my bacon many times. RIP, Max my friend.

By far, my fondest memories of our trips to Florida when I was young were opportunities to hang out with Uncle Max. The man could flat out tell a story. He also had tremendous heart and optimism. I was lucky to know him and luckier to be able to carry his memory. To this day, when I read Mark Twain, I read him in Uncle Max's voice. A great man, to be sure. Aunt Chris and Cindy, I'm very sorry for your loss. Somewhere right now, though, someone is enjoying one heck of an Uncle Max story....

Joyce and I met Max long before we knew who he was or that we would all be family one day. Around 1960-1962, Max managed the bowling alley in Crestview. Since that was the closest bowling alley to DeFuniak Springs, that’s where we took our dates. Joyce’s friend, Charla Wambles, had a brother who was close friends with Max, so she probably saw and met Max even before I did.
In November 1962 Joyce and I were married and in February 1963, Max and my sister Chris were married. From that point forward, so many great memories were created. Just to mention a few:
• Max was at his best when he could draw Joyce into a good argument. Now, he might have agreed with her all along, but he would keep it going for a while. They always had a good laugh afterwards.
o I have to admit, it took me over 50 years to not get caught in his traps too.
• I can’t remember a time in all these years that we were out with Max anywhere when we didn’t see someone he knew. When Joyce and I lived in south Florida, Max and Chris were with us on a tourist boat and Max recognized someone that he knew that was actually working on the boat.
• His life stories were always interesting, especially since it became obvious that our families had either touched or almost touched for many years prior to meeting.
o He had a route for delivering various goods to retailers all over our area.
o His uncle drove a “rolling store” that covered lower Alabama. When I mentioned to Max about seeing the dust cloud from the approaching rolling store coming to my grandparents’ house in Bulgertown, he said “that was my uncle.”
We could go on and on, but let’s just say that Max was a unique individual with many talents and experiences. His spirit will live on with all who knew him…and that’s a lot of people. He is not dead, he just had to shed a used up body. May God continue to bless and keep him forever.
Rest In Peace Uncle Max (and then get back to work).

Ms. Christine I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Max passing. He was a wonderful person and I so enjoyed him when he came to the doctors office and hearing his stories. He had a special place in my heart as do you. May the Lord wrap his arms around you and your family and give you comfort and peace during this time.

Chris and Cindy, when the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. Hold on to your memories, and let them guide you during this time of sadness. I send my love, thoughts and prayers to you.
