Max will be remembered by many of his Warsaw High School classmates as having a passion for music and the trumpet. He excelled in the marching and concert bands and often played at the pep rallies. His love of music spilled over into theater, once playing the lead part of Tevye in the musical, Fiddler On The Roof. In addition to music Max was an avid photographer and gifted many of his photographs to family and friends to be cherished for years to come.After a long career spanning more than 40 years, Max retired from R.R.
