My dearest Uncle Max,
I wish we were able to spend more time together while I was growing up. Though your time was cut short, I will cherish the memories that we did have. I have three Littles now and I swear I see you, your brother and of course my grandmother Catherine's face in some of the expressions they make. You are loved and missed!
Your Loving Niece,
Nikki
Its been a year since you left us daddy. I really miss your voice. I pray for you an hope that your life is very peaceful. While you watch over us. I love you an wish I could talk to you. But i know your in a better place. Xoxo ????
I grew up with Max in Rockshire Square in Rockville, MD. My fondest memory of him is jamming and dancing to the English Beat. He always had a true fight for success in life. I am praying and thinking of his wife and kids to get through this really hard time. Lots of love Tim Fohner. rest in peace Max love ya buddy!
What always struck me the most about Max was his wonderful zest for life. Every time I met him he had a twinkle in his eye and a big smile describing something he had learned, acquired or had just done/or about to do. It was infectious - the last time I saw him we were all cooing over the ducati even though we didn't know the first thing about bikes. He always seemed so positive and upbeat - the kind of person who would and could bounce back from anything. It has come as a great shock to hear of his passing and I am truly saddened. My thoughts and prayers are with Louanna, Maddy, Maya and his family at this time. With all my love - Nayantara
I met Max at a Blockbuster video in Germantown, MD in 93. He use to come in for a movie from time to time. I remember him once waiting an hour for a new release movie return. We become friends. He was full of good humor, he was smart, full of positive energy and a good cook. I am sure he had other good qualities. I remember he invited me to his apartment for a burger. I met Louanna and they were dating at the time. Max had a single pair tabla drum that he use to use as a door stopper at his place. I asked him if I can have it and he gave it to me. He was very generous. I still have that drum. He motivated me to go to Potomac college. I remember we took classes together. It seems like it was yesterday. Max, you will be missed. I can’t believe you are gone!
Louanna, I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Condolences from all of us and Jeanette and the family in Bangalore,

I had talked with Max on May 25, the Sunday before Memorial Day. I think it was the only time he didn’t seem happy. He called to tell me he would be starting a new job – for which he was happy, of course – but it was an hours’ drive away. That meant he’d be away from his family for a full 10 hours, if not more during each working day.
He would call me on no special occasion, but to let me know what my ‘little bro’ was doing and ask how I was. Max was my step brother. Yes, he was younger than I, but I hardly considered him my ‘little brother.’ He had accomplished so much.
When given an option to ‘stay the same’ or do something with his life, he chose the Navy. He worked hard at whatever he did. He did more to learn as much as he could to better his situation.
The times that I’ve stayed at his home, I always felt ‘at home.’ He and Louanna were a perfect complement to each other and it showed in every way. They were fun and serious. There was always a joke or story and a time to talk and listen. Maddie and Maya were always happy, smiling, laughing, active and quiet – when necessary.
He was a super man.
And I will miss his phone calls.
Sarah
