If there was a blackjack tournament going, he and Terri would be there. He was an outdoors man, and loved to fish, and he fished most of the world's oceans. Max was heard to say, "Fishing can be done in this area but bass fishing is not quite like tuna and sailfish fishing." During the past few years, Max and/or Terri could be seen walking their dog, a black chow, named "Puppy Max" through the streets of Sergeant Bluff. Sadly, he died on January 3rd of this year.
