    46 years ago, I stood up as maid of honor when my friend Patty married the love of her life Max. There was never a doubt in my mind Max loved his wife, his children, his grandchildren and coffee. Definitely coffee.; ) He was a kind man, generous, and caring. Max will be missed by many. I’ll see you someday Max. In the meantime I’m sending my love to Patty and your family who are all going to miss you so so much.
