When I moved to Federation Homes seven years ago, I met Max and he was the first one here to make me laugh. We went to the Polish Grocery Store and he took time examining all the canned goods and breads. He would buy a few and lunch meats and jelly filled donuts but I think the best part of the trips for him was being able to speak to the people working in the store in his native tongue and he spoke very forcefully. His passing is very sad and he will be missed by everyone at Federation Homes.
