Max, I'll never forget him and his music filled heart. He looked and acted like an artist. Not just music, but his painting, sculpting and cooking. We had some great dinners at his house. I'll never forget working on the Washington D.C. video with him. His talent was a gift he gave to those around him. Even after I graduated, he continued teaching me his chord progressions, harmonies and orchestrations.

Max, I'm sure you're playing the trumpet right now, helping St. Peter welcome others home. Say hi to Betsy! My life was blessed by knowing you.

Max was a wonderful, kind and gifted man. What a pleasure to have him in residence when I was a student at Loretto Heights.

Rest in peace Max.

Max left a gift to the world in his many talents and although he has gone on to a new adventure, he will always be with us. Sorry Mikie....

Growing up in Denver, I heard of Max DiJulio when I was in Grade School at Blessed Sacrament. One time we went to Loretto Heights for a summer program and got to meet him. When I was a student at Loretto Heights (majored in nursing), he helped me finish the last class I needed to get my minor in Music (vocal performance). I heard several musicians speak about getting jobs through him especially in the 1960s and 1970s, when he basically was "music" in Denver. I hope Lumen Christie and other of his pieces get sung over the years. I just donated my "I'm With Max" T-shirt to Regis (LHC) and Sr. Lydia Pena is picking it up this week from my sister! I know Max had his challenges in life, as we all do, but he did many wonderful things to help those of us who knew him.

Max was one of the true gems, not only at Loretto Heights, but any where. Besides being a wonderful teacher and musician he had other less known talents.

I was relating to friends just a few weeks ago his talent of using both hands to write his signature in mirror image at the same time on the chalkboard. ;-)

Max was an original and will be sorely missed.

Max was a wonderful, inspiring, and dynamic professor and friend. I will truly miss him but will never forget his smile, his enthusiasm for music and love for his former students! His devotion to education and to Loretto Heights College will forever be remembered by all those who knew him!
