You have our deepest sympathy in the death but heavens gain of your beloved husband and father. May you find comfort in knowing we share in your grief. I remember Maxwell working at DCFS as a security guard and he also worked with my hu6at EjandE railroad. Maxwell was never met without a smile or something funny to say. Praying with each of you in the days ahead.

OMG. Just found out about my buddy passing away. I don’t really know what to say except I’ll miss him greatly. Max, as I called him, was a great friend of my Dad, and then became my great friend, knowing him from Dartball and then numerous fishing days. Max was a GOOD man, and I know how much he loved his family, especially his wife, children, siblings and grandchildren, all of which he talked about whenever we’d see each other.
Max LOVED the fresh air and fishing, always catching...
