My name is Ray Palmer I was the Park manager at the Park where Max would walk and feed the squirls everyday. My crew and I enjoyed seeing and talking to Max Everyday. I always worried about him in the winter about slipping or falling. He was a Great guy! My condolences go out to the Baker family.

So sad to hear the passing of Max. Connie and Max were a couple that enjoyed life to the fullest and always had a special spark . My fondest memory will always be when they traveled to North Dakota for our wedding. What a joy and so much gratitude on their part. Now 45 years later I still fondly remember. A beautiful memory! Thank you Max and Connie.

Dear Connie & Family Just heard the sad news about your loved one, Max, who was loved by all. May God comfort you knowing Max is safely home in God´s loving arms where there are no tears past the gate. Being neighbors in BR, precious memories will hold a special place in our hearts. God´s peace and love to you.

Connie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you strength and comfort during this difficult time. Thinking of you, Dee (ceramics)

Max will be missed and never forgotten. The stories of his relationship with nature are treasures. I will always love the story of Max stopping traffic so that the family of ducks could cross the road safely. "I just can't figure out why they would cross the road right there".... He was a great true storyteller. Rest in peace.

Dear Baker Family, we extend our Christian sympathy to you all. Mr. Baker was so kind, and always welcomed our stopping in just to say hi with or without our grandchildren. He so loved us all. God has indeed welcomed him to his heavenly home with the words, "welcome, good and faithful servant, well done". He is now blessing all in heaven as he blessed all he met here on earth. Mrs. Baker, we will continue to pop in and say hello and check in with you.

If we are ever able to return to Bay Cliff it just will not seam the same without Max. I don't know how many years that we spent together at Bay Cliff but You Two will sure be missed. This is a double whammy because Max was a super neighbor just down the street here in Wyoming that I would stop and visit on occasion. We both had fond memories of past years as residents of the Big Rapids, Morley area. Sorry about this Connie!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
