Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Charmaine, I just read about Max’s death in the newspaper. I’m so sorry to hear he passed away. Take comfort in knowing he is in a better place and with Tim. You will see them both again someday. I stop to visit Tim a couple of times a year when I am passing through the area. I miss his friendship. Love and God Bless, Sincerely, Randy
Charmaine – Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Wish we could be there with you, but we’ll be thinking of you. Max was always like a father to me and I will always remember sitting in his office at Beech talking to him. It seems like it was just yesterday, that we were talking. With Love, Diane, Doug, Christy & Kevin Penner
