Carol, David and Debby --

Our deepest sympathies on the loss of Uncle Max. There has always been a great sense of humor that runs through the Greenbergs of Decatur, and no one exemplified that more than your dad. Put him, Meyer, Lois and Harriet together and no target was safe for miles around!

May God bless you and your families.
