Dear Cohen Family,
I was Max's neighbor and friend from Toronto. I had visited him in Buffalo. Learning about his passing is devastating. His charisma will not be replaced. I just wish I could go back to Buffalo with him and eat some wings again.
My condolences.

To the Cohen family,

Max is so very dear to my heart. I lived with him for two years in Toronto while in university. He was an extraordinary individual who possessed a unique genius, and incredibly big/ generous heart. I will miss him tremendously. His soul should be elevated back to its Source, and may God bring your family much solace.
