Max enjoyed life.  He was a successful contractor who took great pride in his craft and valued his customers, many of which became his friends.  He was an avid fisherman, who loved the great outdoors, and spent his leisure time fishing, camping, grilling and gardening.  He was a sports fan and could often be found rooting for the Patriots or the Yankees.  He had a love for animals.  Most of all, he cherished time spent with his family.  He will be remembered as a kind and caring man.
