Grandpa,
I will always be proud to known as Max's grandson. We miss you but know you are at peace with God.
With all my love,
Jim

We have fond memories of Max. As our three boys approached Lincoln NE High School Max was the figure to look up to. Always have a friendly smile and conversation for us. And I think Carolyn knew Chelys way back to the Wesleyan days. Our prayers are with you and we know we will see Max again.

We became acquainted with Max the summer of 1948.He was attending the University Wyoming Summer Prigram. I have never seen anyone who loved to travel to the Snowy Range Mountains. They returned for 4 years. Thoroughly enjoyed being with Max and his family. Will be missed by all of us.

We express our condolences to the Hester family. Max was a friend of youth, an accomplished educator, and a mentor to many. He will be missed.

Our condolences to the family. Max was one of the many great names at LNE. A terrific teacher, a better man with a wonderful family.

My husband was Neal Thomas and he always spoke so fondly of Coach Hester when he was at Auburn. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

I will always remember MAX as a great Coach and friend. His one arm push ups were something I could never do. His disipline is something we need more of these days' rest in peace and may God be with you.

Max had an understated style of leadership and influence that seems typical of his generation and the combat veterans of WW II. He, like a couple of other coaches I had over the years, had a great deal of influence on my self-confidence and work ethic. Too few like him.

Condolences to the family. I loved my coach. He was a lifetime friend. We had numerous visitations. I could go on and on, but I will make it brief. Bless you for your life's achievements, you touched so many lives.

Coach, rest in peace.

LNE 1954.
