His hobbies included flying small aircraft, RV camping, hiking, dirt bikes, amateur ham radio since 1956, call signs - K7MAX-K4JZE-W7IJ and photography. He enjoyed Mexican food and a darn good margarita, don't forget Tony's ice cream back home in Gastonia. His favorite pet was always a poodle, the most recent is Jacket.
He retired from General Electric after 49 years as a Communications Engineer, and then moved on to work at Central Arizona Project for 8 years as a Planner then happily retired.
The family wishes to send a special thank you to the staff at Hospice of the Valley, John C. Lincoln Hospital, Acacia Health Center and his daughter-in-law Jennifer, for their care and compassion.

A private service will be held on September 29th, 2021, at the family's request.
Max was a very dear friend. I rememer from our high school days that he was always quiet and unassuming. He lived a full and fruitful life. I got to know him even better in our later lives - sharing some similar medical complaints, but he was also my backup on this website. He will be missed - and hard to replace.
