Dear John, Sharon, Brenda, and families,
I have known Max for many years, primarily between the mid 80's to the mid 90's, during which time I lived with the younger of his 2 late daughters. I felt proud to be closely associated to a member of the clergy and honoured to attend a few of his sermons over the years. I continue to reside in the area where he preached (First Baptist Church) and where the family lived on Hampton Ave. I witnessed a caring father who raised 3 accomplished children. One became a beloved teacher, one a musician, and one a family law attorney. He instilled in them a charitable goodness which remained alongside some challenges his daughters experienced over the years. Some 22 years ago I was in Kitchener-Waterloo to celebrate Max's 80th birthday. It was one of many occasions where I observed his loving relationship with Peggy and his warmth and affection towards her daughters and their families. In later years, when Peggy's health was fragile, Sharon managed to help the 3 of us get to a nearby shopping centre for lunch together. That was a special day and a memory I will continue to cherish. I am unable to travel to Ontario this weekend but my thoughts will be with you all. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
