This is my Uncle Max! He was awesome! A great guy! He was sweet, soft spoken, caring, and had the best sense of humor! He was a cool dude. Loved his mom and his sisters. Loved his family - two girls and two boys. Raised them all to be incredible people. They are all so smart. And my brother, his nephew, looks just like him. We are so proud of him. But we never knew he was an incredible athlete. He didn't talk about it. He is as humble as he was a good man.
