This sad news travelled slowly to our corner of the world.  I am grateful to have worked with Max when he was on our Board of Directors, and shared a friendship that continued, though slowed by distance after I left Austin.  Thank you, Max, for your perceptive advice, and the ideas and humor you added to every room you were in.   Above all for your support and insistence on rigor.  

A wonderful father and grandfather who will be missed dearly.

Great Dean of Engineering and mentor to many engineering faculty at the University of Pittsburgh. Elevated the School to be recognized as one of the leading institutions in engineering research and education nationally and internationally.

Your scientific contributions in fracture mechanics and your effort in building a stronger engineering School at the University of Pittsburgh will always be remembered.
