It has been my pleasure to know and work with Max for the past few months while at DaVita Dialysis. Max was truly a great man and so kind and funny to all of us. We will miss him greatly. He was always a bright spot at the unit and inspiration to all other patients with his positive outlook and humor. Condolenses to all his family.

Pinney family - I am so sorry about your dad. My parents loved your parents. I loved hearing the stories of them going to Vegas together and how much fun Max was at a crap table! You know he is at a crap table in Heaven and he's winning!

Marvin and I are so sorry for your loss! Losing your parent is a loss that sometimes seems too unbearable to go through! But our Father always promises us He will be there! My prayer for your family is that God will send each of you His comforting Spirit to hold you up when the times are the hardest to bear! Also, you can take comfort in the thought that you will be together with him one day, and your love will keep you safe until that day!

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.
As you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens...Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal... So may the blessings of love be upon you, May its peace abide with you, May its essence illuminate your heart, Now and forever more....
