It is so hard to put into words my feelings. You were loved by so many people including myself. You have always been a good brother-in-law to me. We joked and kidded around alot. We all shared alot of fun and laughter together through the years.(Huckleberry Railroad) for one. I love you, Max. Tell my Mikey that I keep his memory in my heart always as will I yours. Goodbye for now...until the Good Lord decides to take me in His loving care also.
