I still think about Max every time I see a construction company using a curb machine. Always mad me laugh whenever we met on the job. A total class act. Never met anyone that truly didn't like Max!

The best. Hard work mixed with compassion , humor and firm but gentle hand. He taught us all .... how you are supposed to treat others.

A man I met only briefly in this life. This brief encounter, finding a man richly full of honor, integrity, gentleness, sacrifices above understanding. I will treasure our moments into eternity, when I know for certain I will see Max in heaven.

One of the nicest hardest workers it was my privilege to have worked for me. 20 years from Tri-City to JH Cosgrove. Always enjoyed my time with Max. One of a kind for sure. Already missed

Max is/was a great man who took me under his wings when I was a 21 year old kid and taught me what it meant to work hard and have fun with it. I can never repay him for what he did. R.I.P Max. We all will miss you.
