Max was also a member of the Buckeye Nordics Ski Patrol and just a great guy to be around. His enthusiasm and dedication to the Ski Patrol was something I greatly admired about him. I will always cherish the great conversations we had "back in the day". Rest in peace my friend!
Uncle Max taught me to sail at the cottage in Canada and played musical ensembles with Kathy, Linda, and me. I admired his many diverse interests and hobbies.

I skied with Max both at Sugarcreek and Perfect North Slopes Ski Patrols for 29 years and enjoyed ever minute I had the chance to share floating on the snow with him. Ski on Max.

A life well lived! Max was a great mentor and friend. We had the pleasure of knowing Max during his time as a Patroller, as a natural leader at Perfect North Slopes, and as part of the Ohio Region National Ski Patrol. We remember his kindness, enthusiasm, and gentle demeanor. He drove a Subaru, too! He was a good man for the planet. Fare thee well, Max!

I had the pleasure of playing in the Greene county adult band with Max for several years. Always a gentleman and helpful to me with my music.
My dear friend Max was my advocate and champion in the ski patrol. Wanting to test our “Ohio” avalanche and mountaineering training, I arranged a ski mountaineering trip to the Tetons. Our guide, who was not feeling well, led us to the base camp, ran us through avalanche beacon drills and fixed us a nice dinner. He left us in the morning with a map of suggested ski routes. Our ski patrol mountaineering skills did us well. We even successfully built and slept in a snow cave. The only disappointments were that we missed out on some telemark lessons and had to make meals from leftover supplies from previous groups. Day 5 the guide returned while we were out skiing and left us a note and a car at the trailhead. It was an awesome experience that definitely tested our skills and resourcefulness. We were blessed with beautiful weather and woke up to fresh powder every morning.
