Even though you weren't my grandfather by blood I considered you my family and the only other grandfather I knew. You had been around since I was a baby, I remember listening to all your stories growing up. You were a wonderful husband to my grandma and took such good care of her. It saddens me you are gone but also puts me at ease knowing you are no longer in pain anymore. I wish I could attend your funeral but I'll be there in spirit <3 time to rest easy now.

I cherish my memories of Uncle Max, he was so worried about Susan when she was in the hospital with the blood clot in her leg. In time, I hope the good memories will help comfort Aunt Susan and the rest of the family during this difficult time.
