Max Showalter

My sincere condolences and prayers go out to Max's family for his psssing.
He was a loyal and respected News Director and WASK Radio and will be remembered for his contributions to our successful News operations. God Bless you Max and your family at this difficult time in their lives.

I worked with Max at KFIZ and went to a few Brewer-White Sox games with him. He was a great guy and a pleasure to work with. The last time I saw him I was in Indianapolis for work and he drove there from Lafayette for dinner and a had few beers. We had a blast talking about the KFIZ days. Thoughts and prayers go out to Arlene, Amy and his family.

KFIZ was my first real job after college and Max and Joe were a big part of the laughter around the station. He was every bit a professional newsman and someone to learn from. I certainly remember the lunch we spent at Ralph and Mama's. It took 3 days for my sinus cavity to recover! Thinking of your family and saying a prayer.

I worked a few years with Max at KFIZ in FDL. Max was a super news person, always professional and a true team player both at the station and in life. I recall his devotion to his beloved Chisox, always a big part of his summer conversation. Our best to Arlene, family and friends. Will think of him every time I hear "Come Monday"....

I worked with Max at KFIZ in Fond du lac in the mid-70's and remember him as a hard working professional and good friend. I can vouch for his devotion to his beloved Chicago White Sox! Our best to Arlene and his family, Max was a super guy!

Both myself and my wife Sandy are saddened by Max's passing.

I had the good fortune to work for Max twice - first at WCTW Radio in New Castle right after his move from Tell City in 1972... and again at WASK Radio in Lafayette - when he came to town back in the 1980s. I enjoyed working with him and learned a lot from him.

I fondly remember sitting on the living room floor in New Castle, playing "weebles" with Amy and enjoying the family's company. It meant a lot to a single guy...

"It was a pleasure working w/Max @ KFIZ FDL. Max would light up a room w/his smile ! Best Newsman ever! My sincerest condolences Arlene and Amy & Family. I know Max is the Media Man at the Pearly Gates!

Max and I used to exchange "voicers" each morning in the 1970's when he was at KFIZ and I did morning news at WNFL up in Green Bay. We'd tip a beverage or two at radio news guy gatherings in Stevens Point, WI, when the Associated Press was buying.
May he enjoy as many "Cheeseburgers In Paradise" as his heart desires.
For you, Max, "Go Sox."

Just one of the best in media/communications. Honest and caring. The world of media needs more reporters like him. RIP, Max.
