Our Uncle Max was always smiling, a true gentlemen, a wonderful father, grandfather, great-grandfather and one of the most loving husband and helpmate. He had a great sense of humor. He was a man you wanted as a friend, co-worker, and neighbor. Our world will never be as colorful or the sun shine as bright without him in it. May peace be with him in Heaven as he joins other loved ones. Words cannot express our sorrow for our beloved Aunt Fanny (who Uncle Max often called Fanny Ellen and referred to as his better half). To his daughter and son-in-law, you have our deepest sympathy. To his grandchildren and their spouses, and great-grandchildren who have lost a gracious example of humankind and profound role model, may your memories sustain you. May the loving arms of Jesus surround and comfort our Aunt Fanny and all the family members. We pray for you as Jesus holds you in His light as you grieve for your dearly loved one, our Uncle Max.
