Max and Marilyn were my WaterWalk neighbors until I moved from there in early 2017. I didn't realize Marilyn had passed later that year. Both were lovely people with him I enjoyed a cordial relationship. I would see them often when I'd pick up my mail and visited them in their home several times. Heartfelt condolence are extended to all of Max's family and friends.

Kathy, Scott and Joanna, Lynn, Aaron, Austin, and Dylan.
I find it difficult to find the words to explain to you what Maxamillion's friendship has meant to me over the last 30+ years. So many daily topics of discussion that we would mull over. The only one that we could never come to an agreement on was if baseball was played on a diamond or a square. Everybody knows that it is a diamond as I am sure that Maxamillion knew that I was right as well, but he just liked to banter back and forth about it. And now, since I have the last word, this is for you my beloved friend: "Maxamillion, just look down from up above at Homeplate. You now have the same view as the batter. Baseball is played on a diamond."
