Maxwell Kaufer Obituary

July 4, 1922 - December 21, 2016 Mac died peacefully, surrounded by his family, after a life that packed extraordinary service and generosity into 94 years. He was graduated Summa Cum Laude from Harvard College in 1943, Air Force captain in WWII. While building a distinguished career in the insurance business, he was still able to tirelessly donate his passions and expertise to the many social and political causes dear to his heart. He is survived by his treasured wife of 65 years, Jeanne (Jimi). He was the beloved father of sons Scott and Jonathan, daughter Susan, and the loving grandfather of Jordan, Hannah, Hayley, Ella and Alexa. Mac will be forever cherished and forever missed.
