I had the privilege of meeting Max during my work at Providence Place over the past year.
He was a very gentle, kind and thoughtful man who was always made one feeling welcome.
His wonderful sense of humour was a joy to be around.
He will be truly missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Marg and Sharon, Brian, Darryl and Lynn.

Darryl, Wivi, and Family,
Dwain and I were very to hear of your fathers passing.
Marg, Sharon, Keith and Kristine, I am so sorry to hear about Max’s Passing. I reminded Kristine of my best memory of Max. I believe we were at Keith and Sharon’s house after Kristine’s Wedding shower and Kristine took her hair extensions off and I thought they would look Fabulous on Max!!! I was right! His awesome sense of humor allowed us to put those long blonde extensions in his remaining hair with a baseball cap to finish off the look, and he wore it with pride!!!!! Such a Sweet Man!!!!
I wish you many smiles and laughs thinking back to the other goofy things he had done, I imagine there were many!!!!!
