Max attended school in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. He married Lorraine Barnhart January 19, 1943 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska they spent 70 years together. They were married real young so they could raise each other to suit themselves. They lived in Scottsbluff until September 1957, when they moved to Arvada with their two daughters and then moved to Platteville in 1976.
When Max was a young man he would work a team of horses digging basements and odd jobs. He retired as a truck driver in 1980. Max enjoyed going to farm sales, working on his pick up trucks and loved restoring his 1953 dump truck; he shopped at salvage yards which was an all day event – he would go from one end to the other. When Lorraine would go with Max, she knew to take the paper to read and crocheting to do. Max also enjoyed going to Black Hawk. Max was loved by his entire family and will be greatly missed.
