Julie and family, please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Max. I worked with Max at Nuclear Safety for 35 years. Alway looked up to him. Never saw Max without a smile on his face. Your husband/father was a non conformist, always marching to his own drum. Most of us followed his lead. A great, great man. He will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
