So many memories of growing up with Max and Dad being mischievous together. Your sense of humour and infectious nature will never be forgotten. I will always remember you love of the veggie garden Lots of Love to Auntie Val, Gary, Leanne and Rodney. Kim,Chris, Kirsty, Rebecca and Family

So sorry that we can't be present but we will be watching and sharing lots of great memories on line. Deepest sympathy to Aunty Val, Garry, Leanne, Rod and their extended families on the passing of our dear Uncle Max. Words fail to do Max justice; painter, punter and raconteur come to mind. He was often the centre of the laughs at gatherings and always drew a crowd of eager listeners who hung on every word. Max's hilarious stories and jokes lit up the room! Aunty Val was often the butt of his mischievous jokes but that glint in his eye and a wink enabled him to get away with it. Our lives have been blessed having Max in our family. Max, have beer or strawberry milk with Nobby, a punt with Norm and a cup of tea with Beryl. We are all going to miss you enormously. P.S. Give Paul Perry horses strength and we might all back a winner. Danny, Noeleen, Greg and Sue Wilkins
