At Sandy Run, Ernest Wood, Jimmy Lambert, and Bill Townsend watched. The hole was 148 yards long. He won hundreds of Belmont Bucks at Belmont Village. He taught his son Gary so many engineering skills of carpentry, automobile maintenance and fixing anything. His daughter Jane inherited athletic/sports abilities. He instilled an important awareness for being a supportive and compassionate parent, and gave comfort in the knowledge he will be there eternally for Daddy's Little Girl…always.

An inspiration to everyone, Max lived a good life. He has arrived at home in God's eternal home. The lives he touched have flourished. The beauty of his spirit lingers on in the hearts of the people he inspired.
