I am so sorry for your loss and am saddened by to hear this My family lives a block South of Max and family. We take the dog´s on daily walks around the soccer fields and bike paths. No matter how bad of a day, when I crossed paths with Max, he was always there to stop and listen to my problems. Max always had a positive note. I will forever remember his welcoming nature, kneeling down to take the time to enjoy petting the dogs, shaking hands and his simple gesture of thankfulness. You will be missed. Thank you for being kind. Forever missed, your neighbors, Simon´s.
