Max is lovingly remembered by daughter Maxine (Brian); sons Ricky and Gordon (Suzanne); grandchildren Michael, Christina, Michelle, Denise, Laura, Cheryl and Shannon; and four great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by the love of his life, and wife of 59 years, Rose.
Born and raised in St. Michael, Alberta, Max helped out on the family farm and convenience store before joining the Canadian Navy later in his teens. He rose to the rank of Chief Petty Officer before taking early retirement in 1967. Max later worked for the City of Victoria in the Bylaw and Tax Accounting department, retiring from there in 1987.
During his retirement years, Max enjoyed fishing, gardening and long walks. He and Rose were also frequent Reno visitors where he enjoyed playing Keno.
At Max’s request, there will be no funeral service.
The family would like to thank the staff at VGH.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.
