You are still alive in our memories, dear Max.

A very dear friend whom I respect a lot. He accepted to help me in the beginning of my research career without knowing me. It is an honor for me to have publications with you Dear Max Paape. May God bless you

Max Paape, distinguished scientist and great human being. I have been blessed with the honor of working under your supervision during my PhD stay at USDA-ARS in 1999.

My sincere condolences to the family during this difficult time.
