Dearest Mrs Stackhouse and Family , sending you condolences. Mr Stackhouse was so kind and such a role model to Mrs Stackhouses piano students and me during our musical education. Prayers and love to you all.

Dearest Stackhouse Family, please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of Max. I remember his warm smile and kind wise words about any and every subject. Some of my best summer memories was growing up and attending the Theology and the Arts festivals at your home, all the amazing discussions in your living room which uplifted and brought music and theology together. They were some of the most spiritual and inspiring sessions while I was at Tanglewood and will treasure them always. Thank...

It was with great sadness that I learned of Max's passing on. He was a great classmate at DePauw, and I highly valued being on a panel with him at our 50th class reunion. He leaves a void that may be impossible to fill. Jean and family, I am sorry for your loss, but the memory of his accomplishments and exemplary life ease the pain.

Valerie and I give our condolences to Jean. I got to know Max mostly through tennis. We had wonderful matches and enjoyed running each other around. Afterwards we would discuss the Bible and its meanings to each of us. I will sorely miss Max.

Dear Mrs. Stackhouse and family,
I grieve with you the loss of Dr. Stackhouse. At Princeton I took a class he taught entitled, Ethical Implications of the Synoptic Gospels. I appreciated his evident love of God, his razor sharp mind, hearty sense of humor, broad smile, and his kindness. He was especially good at integrating theory and practice. I am grateful and enriched for his tutelage.

For Max and Family,
Back years ago, the Stackhouse family lived only two blocks from our home on Lincoln Street in Newton Highlands. Our three sons, Ara, Greg, and Carl, strolled to the Hyde School to join the Stackhouse brood. We all attended the Newton Highlands Congregational Church, and we are still members.
Our entire family extend to the Stackhouse family our sincere heartfelt wishes over the loss of Max at eighty years. We believe the Lord called him home a bit early. The...

Dear Jean and Family,
I grieve for Max's passing and send my prayers to all of you. He was my cousin and I remember him fondly as an open and loving person who made a difference in the lives of those he touched.

Dear Jean and family,
Larry and I send our prayers, love, and peace to each one at this time of Max's passing to be with the Lord. The summers of playing tennis and hours of encouragement Max invested in me through various trials in life's journey will always be a treasure in my heart. He is one of those rare persons who can translate the life of the Lord to others just by his "being". His writings live on in "intellectual" realms...but his genuine love, concern, and...
