My Dad shopped at Max´s for many years. They kept a log of his sizes and preferences along with everything he purchased. As kids we could go in and ask for ideas for gifts. I miss the service Mr. Krawcheck and his staff provided. It was top notch! May God be with Mr. Krawcheck´s family as they mourn the loss of a true gentleman.
