We remember Max as an excellent host giving, praising and sharing, at so many seders especially. He had always inquired about health, activities and special needs we all had. He was generous and loving. We watched His Shoah Tapes and learned of his hardships as a slave laborer during the Holicast and subsequent marriage to a "beautiful girl, Regina".
He adored and revered Lydia. We shall miss him.

I will always remember the special times our families shared in Paterson, Wayne and at my parent's in Dobbs Ferry and Estelle's in the Bronx. We celebrated many family events and holidays together. It was always special to me and my children to spend time with Max and Regina. I'm glad that Max got to meet our newest edition, Allison at his birthday party in Wayne in December.
Love to Regina, Lydia, Vica, Vitaly and family.
