Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

Our sincere condolences to the entire family in your loss. I (Rob) grew up living next door and some of my earliest childhood memories are seeing Max and Elizabeth working around the yard. Some years back, Max built and installed a little china cabinet in my parents home and it still stands solid today in full use....a fine memory of Max's quality carpentry. May you be comforted by your many happy memories and by each other. You were wonderful neighbors!
