He proudly served in the Army for 37 years (1956 – 1993). Max was stationed on various bases including 4RCHA (Petawawa), Artillery School (Gagetown), RCA Battle School as a CWO (Shilo) ending his career as a Commissioned Officer (Captain) at Marcom (Halifax). Although he had many achievements as a soldier his deployment to the Island of Cyprus in 1982 as a Peace Officer was one, he was proud to have had the opportunity to perform.
