Dearest Margaret,
I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Max's passing. He was so very special to our family. Although he was not a biological Uncle, the honorary title of "Uncle Max" showed how very dear and loved he was to our family. I have so many wonderful memories of our time with him. One very special time comes to mind.....My parents (Jim and Peggy Hamman) were celebrating their 25th anniversary (they have now been married 58 years) Uncle Max was living out of state. I sent him an email stating that although I knew he couldn't attend....I didn't want him left out. As we were setting up the venue.....in walks Uncle Max! He said "Jany Jo! Don't ever tell me that I can't make it to a party!" He just made the special day all the more special! We were all in tears that he had made the trip! That was just one of many of the special times we shared with him. Our love and sympahty to all of you for your loss. He was truly a wonderful and loving man. Much Love, Jim and Peggy Hamman , Billy and Jan Guilliams and family, Don and Lori Colborn and family.
