Max was my very first crush .I was in 8th grade and his sister Charlene was my best friend. I was so shy around him and just loved how he used to make me laugh and tease me
I would look at him when he wasn't watching thinking how gorgeous he was.
He was the first boy to ever kiss me and we remained good friends until he graduated and I left the next year. I remember Max,Steve S, Patty G,and I would always go to Pattys house and ride horses. He was a great guy. My symphonies are with all who loved him

I remember Max from school. He sat in many classes in front of me.
He made me laugh, he was smart.

It was great to know him.

God Bless the family!

Message from Carl and Toni Burkholder

Doris and all - we are both so saddened to hear of the passing of Max. All of us who knew Max will miss his great sense of humor and his love for music. Treasure all your memories and take care of each other, thinking of you, Carl and Toni

I remember when my family moved from the Township to the Borough and I joined Max' 6th grade class at Southern Elementary.  He was the only guy in the class smaller than I was.  But Max probably had the biggest personality of all of us.  He was always fun to be around.  We spent many hours hanging out at his house.  His Mom and family put up with us, for the most part.  In the summers we would catch a ride to Chalybeate with Max' Dad on his way back to work from his lunch break.  Max was athletic, smart, and had a great sense of humor.  My condolences to all who loved him. Godspeed, old friend.

My heart and prayers are with the family. Maxi was a long time friend. Sadly he is gonna be missed. He would always yell at me and want to destroy the album he made when he would come to visit. He made me laugh and was there to help in some of my most trying time. I love you Maxi you will be forever in my thoughts and heart.

We are saddened to learn of Max's passing. We were so blessed to have Max attend our 45th reunion last year. We all had the opportunity to visit with him and shared some very pleasant memories.
He was a good man and will be missed by all he touched.

Message from Bob Zembower

So very very sorry to hear of the passing of a good friend, and a good man. I can't add anything to how great Max was, and I've been away too long to provide any recent comments, but I have a long memory, especially of the good ones. RIP Max.
