My condolences to all the family. I came to know Max quite well over many years , although I worked in Tampa.
I can assure you that he was considered by myself and many others at GTE, as one of the "good guys" that could be trusted. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I hope you can find comfort in the fact that Max was such a special man. He was the type of man when you heard his name it would bring a smile to your face. He was a fine, Christian man that loved his family. As my Daddy use to say, "Max is a good, good family man!" God bless you Margaret and Anne.

Anne, sincere condolences to you and your family during this most difficult time. Several family members were coworkers at "the old General Telephone" with your dad, and I know he was dearly loved and highly respected by so very many here in Lakeland - another of our "human landmarks." You are in our prayers.
