Mickey and Sisters as well as Mollie, I was so sad to hear of the loss of Max. He was such a big part of my teen years. I am so sorry for your loss. He raised some beautiful Whaley girls and our awesome Mollie Mara. I named my daughter after her. So fun knowing our Moms were friends too. He will be missed. Jan Bryant

Sending sympathy across the miles. I was very fond of your dad and cherish our chats. So glad I got to see him last summer. I’m also very grateful for his service to our country. You should all take pride in your constant care and comfort as he began to decline. In love and sympathy, Mary (Tarney) Ferranti

A kind, quiet, caring person! I should know! He and Jerrie took me into their home when I was 15! With 5 children of their own, they really did not need another mouth to feed! Max, as he was lovingly called, will be missed by all who knew him. His niece, Mollie Mara Kell
