Not sure what to say?

wonderful memories of Test matches in England 1975 and 1977 RIP Max

Just like this candle, my memories of our times together will always light up my life.
Thank you dear Max.

I was never a cricket fan, but Max Walker was larger than life!,Even after his cricket career, he was so charismatic with his smile and voice that always made my day when I saw him on TV. Rest in peace Dear Sir, Australia is a sadder place. My thoughts are with your family

Max had a profound influence on my son when he attended a camp at Powerhouse, Crib Point many years ago. My son had been struggling to find his place in the world and the words of encouragement Max gave to him - and I will never know exactly what they were - proved life-changing. My son has a wonderful family and a successful career and he credits those minutes alone with "Mr. Walker" with setting him on the right path.
The world has lost a wonderful man.
To his family, my deepest...

To Kerry, Alexandra, Isabella and Max's family,

Our thoughts are with you. We hope you all find strength from the wonderful memories and that you shared your lives with such a special man. If there were more Max Walkers among us we would have a safer and better world.

Fond memories for us of times spent with Max golfing and socialising at the Mornington Peninsula. His ambassordship of Drummond Golf was appreciated.

I remember Max from my school days at The Friend's School, Hobart. He was probably the tallest boy in the school: larger than life! Always smiling. Always surrounded by his school mates. Little did I know how he would excel in life.

May I offer my deepest sympathy to his wife and family.

Rest in peace, Max.

Very sad news about 'Tangles' ...
Was a privilege to have dealings with Max back in '92 in planning a surprise documentary on Jurassic 'Mal' Marsh (74 yo cricketing icon from Loch Sport) ... Great memories of Max's many conversations & correspondence and especially his personal invitation to a special morning tea at GTV9 to help lift the spirits of 'Jurassic' Mal Marsh who unfortunately took ill prior to the filming of the documentary. Max and his personal assistant (Joan) were wonderful...

I only knew Max Walker when I watched the Workd Series cricket; I developed a real love for watching Max and " the boys". I was very upset to learn Mr Walker had passed away, although his smile will live on forever. Condolences to his family at the passing of this wonderful man.

Always smiling

Dear Kerry and Family

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Max will be sadly missed.
