Maxwell Myron Kalman

Dear Fran and Tully, Laya and Michael, Elsa, your families and the Kalman family,

We were sorry to hear of the passing of Max. Please accept our deepest sympathies to you on your loss. We were privileged to know Max in his later years. He was a model for us, a man of great dignity. He lived life fully, enjoyed life fully and contributed in so many ways to the world around him. His memory and his creative legacy are our blessing.

To Linda,
My sympathies on the loss of your wonderful grandfather. I think of you often and hope all is well with your family.
Love your old friend,
Stacey Schwartz (Halifax)

Dear Hal, Linda, Sat-Sung and Hilary
Please accept my sincere and heartfelt sympathy on Max's demise. My connection with him has mostly to do with his determination to rebuild the Summer Pavilion on Parliament Hill, and every time I take the new NCC guides on their training tour around the hill (I've been doing it for 22 years), I make sure that they understand that it was Max's efforts that led to the re-establishment of this important feature. He had a huge influence on the modern landscape, but beyond that, he understood the importance of history and how it must all flow together.

I can't be in Montreal to see you over the next few days, but I am with you in spirit.
