Max was always there to make you smile with his witty jokes. Max was a wonderful carpenter, and could build just about anything you needed. He thoroughly enjoyed spending time relaxing in his workshop, working on one of his many projects. Max will be greatly missed by all who loved him and will be kept in our hearts and loved forever.

Surviving are his brother Ronald (Donna), Middle Cornwall, and his sister, Vivian (William) Verge; Martins Point; many nieces and nephews including Scott Hupman whom Max considered a son, and his dear friend Ruth Morash; West Dover.
