I worked with Dr.Figet from 1963 through 1968 on the Gemini 4 and Apollo Skylab Programs. He taught many valuable things about managing space programs for which I am grateful. My condolences to his family Lt.Col Marion Schneider Albuquerque New Mexico

Family,
Our prayers and sympathy are with you in these difficult days. May you all grow closer as a family through this sad time, and may we all number our days aright, Coram Deo.
Much love from Kathy (Cerna) and Joe Grant, Yuba, Katelin, Andrew and James, their children.

My deepest condolences to your family. Max Faget is a symbol of American achievement and how one man can change the lives of so many. The young men I teach in my Space Science class have been told how valuable Max Faget was to the U.S. Space Program.

My deepest sympathies and prayers to the Faget family and friends. A true American legend and space visionary. Godspeed Max Faget! You will not be forgotten.

"Thank you" to a man who gave so much to our country through his contributions to our space program.

My sincere condolences to his family and NASA friends and colleagues.

My deepest sympathies to the Faget Family. Another NASA legend reaches for the stars.

To Max's family: I'm so glad I was able to contact Max a few years ago and share some memories of good times at Penn State with him and Nancy. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Jean Burrows

Several years ago I stood in line at a booksigning for astronaut Jim Lovell. While I waited, I chatted with the elderly man behind me, who told me he had "worked at NASA a few years ago". When I reached the front of the line, Lovell glanced over my shoulder, took one look at my new friend and exclaimed "Max!" I had been chatting with Max Faget, who never even mentioned that his name appeared in the index. What a sweet, amazing man!

Another visionary of the greatest generation has taken leave of this world. Our deepest sympathy to all the Faget family.
