Max was one of my Dad's best friends; in the early years Max would often visit our house in Lehi and he and my Dadsp ent many a hunting trip together. I have great memories of fishing trips to lake Roosevelt with them and a couple of their tile buddies. It's sad that men like these just aren't around any more. God bless them all.
