Maximo B. Sampayan

It was in the maternity ward is when I met Max...let me explain...I have given birth to my 3rd son. I was sitting there with my newborn late at night watching tv, visiting hours were over so I have no idea how they got in! :), I heard fast footsteps and the curtain slighty move when my second mom, Nattie, and Max peeked in.."there you are"..she said while Max glanced over her shoulder with a huge smile from ear to ear looking over his glasses. We sat there and talked and of course he threw in...

I had the pleasure of meeting and working for Max in 1979. I worked in the Display Department at Sears for 6 years. Max was not just a boss, he was a dear friend. He treated us as family, not employees. It was a joy going to work because he created a fun atmosphere. He loved to tell jokes and I loved to play jokes on him. He always threatened to throw me in the trash dumpster. Well he finally did. We continued to laugh about it. I had not seen Max in a few years, just kept informed through...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Nattie,
I'm sorry for the loss of your long time companion. I pray God keeps you and your family in the circle of his arms.

To Nattie, Maxxie, and Nick,
Many, many, many long years ago (24 to be exact) I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Nattie and in turn, met her husband, kids, other family members and friends. Oh what fun we had. Max always was there, the stories Nattie would tell, then Max would tell, always were so funny. Max always had a smile, and a joke to tell. And what a dancer! We had so much fun together when we were at a gathering. I have truly been blessed to have met this family, I feel...

My dear Max, it was such a joy to be around you at GET and hear all your stories and very funny jokes. You will be truly missed here on Earth but I know you are at peace and we will see each other again someday.
To the family: MY deepest condolances are with you in your time of need.

MAX....I will truly miss you,and your emails :) Im glad to have met you and hearing your jokes in the mornings at GET.

To the Sampayan family,
Mr.Sampayan always had a smile on his face when he came to the center to leave Dionisio, even on the days when he was having a bad day. We are keeping you in our thought and prayers. May God guide and bless you in your time of sorrow.
