Max was my daddy's accountant for many years. He took care of him but also earned my daddy's respect. Max was also a classmate of mine. It is hard to believe he is gone but I know, I'll see him again. Max, my daddy and I will both greatly miss you. You did so much for us and I'll always be greatful.
Sincerely,
Booney Cox and Bonnie Bess Cox Skipper

Max, I'll miss you. You were my accountant for over 25 years. I considered you a friend as well, and I think that was mutual, even though we didn't talk often. I'll remember that you took care of me.
