Max graduated from Arsenal Technical High School in the class of 1947, as well as attending Indiana Central College in Indianapolis. Max proudly served his nation in the Army. After nearly 30 years of service to the company, Max retired in 1985 from Western Electric where he worked in management. A hard worker, Max went on to work for AT&T after his retirement as a consultant which led him and his wife to live in Singapore for nearly 2 years during his tenure with the company.

Geraldine and Max delighted in many years of travelling abroad, their destinations include Australia, Singapore, England, Fiji, France, and Ireland. If Max was not travelling or volunteering his time, he was either working in his yard or spending time with his family. Max was adamant about never missing a race day spent with his family. Max had an ability to be silly, while also being an extremely compassionate man. His fun-loving, kind spirit will be missed by all of those who knew and loved him.
