Max played the trumpet and loved music, especially big band jazz. He was an avid participant at the Plano Senior Center dances where he had many good friends and dance partners. He was a member of the Faith Lutheran Church in Plano, Texas and was often an usher and helped with the church newsletter. One of his greatest joys was the backyard BBQ's that brought his children and friends to his door where the music and food flowed. Dad never knew a stranger and always had an accepting and kind word for everyone that he met or loved. He will be missed.
