Not sure what to say?

I have fond memories of Judge Daniels. He knew what Defendants deserved a break and what ones didn't! He was fair and consistent and was always willing to listen. Great respect! Terry Nolan

Dear Jan and family, As Judge "Max the Axe's" court reporter for all of his 17 years on the bench, I can say that I probably saw many sides of his personality and he taught me a lot. I know that he respected what I did and always had my back. Rest in peace, Judge.

Jan and family, I was so sorry to hear of Max´s death!! He was a neat guy! I remember fondly the good times we had you and Max. Remembering Max and family in my prayers Pat Linck

An example of Max's dry humor. Max & I were sitting on either side of Jim Kobza at a Muskegon Bar Association meeting. Jim dropped a kernel of corn on napkin on his lap. Max said, quick as a wink, "Look, corn on the Kobza."

When Harry Knudsen was Muskegon County Prosecutor, Max was Chief Assistant, and I was an Assistant. Max was upset when someone saw his name of his U of M law degree as Robert Max Daniels and called him Bob. Thereafter I called him Bob and Max called me Ralph, my middle name, but only outside the hearing of anyone else. We had great fun with this. Max's dry humor was a delight. He used to say that he was a specialist handling only treason cases.
