I will never forget the day I came to Vic's Drive-in Restaurant and applied for a job. You hired me and became a wonderful friend and father-like figure in my life. Bless you and yours for wonderful years.

Dear Steven & Roseann,
Working with your dad for twenty years and watching the two of you grow up was one of my most memorable pleasures in my life. My deepest sympathy to both of you and your families. My daughter sent me the announcement of him receiving his diploma and I'm sure that was a joy in his life.

Dear Roseanne, Steven and Peter:

All my memories of your Dad are warm & make me smile. He always provided that sort of family "glue" that helped to keep family parts together. Oh, and I cannot forget food. I think of Uncle Max & automatically am hungry. Forever will all of us remember this extraordinarily warm, gentle & generous man. Love to you you all cousins.

Dear Rosanne, Steven and Peter

Please accept my deepest sympathies on your dad's passing.

Max was always one of my favorite people. He was a true "Mensch".
I remember him coming to my school in Salem to greet me when he got home from World War 2.

He will be greatly missed.

Love,
Cousin Bernie
