Marilyn and family, I'm very saddened about the loss of Max. He was an amazing person. Every Saturday that I'd work at the storage units, I couldn't help but admire the wonderful relationship you two shared. Marilyn, you were his queen and I could tell how much he loved you. Max helped me get through a hard time in May when my Grandfather also passed of a similar situation. He didn't have to spend the time talking with me and consoling me, but he did, and I will be forever grateful. I will always remember his great smile and his wonderful personality. My prayers are with you all. All my love, Crystal Karpakis
