Dear Max,

Thank you for being my virtual coach in the field of hydrotreating. I have learned a lot from you, both professionally and personally. I  enjoyed the open and casual discussions from our home offices and seeing you with your baseball cap on. You will be missed.

Dear Natalia, Alice and Elizabeth,

My deepest condolences for the loss of your husband/father.
For the last 3,5 years I have worked with Max every once and while on new catalysts that he developed. I loved his knowledge and enthusiasm.
I will miss him at work.

I was very fond of Max as a colleague at Shell Technology Center Houston. He was very friendly, cheerful and supportive of others. His intellect, education and dedication to his work were exemplary. I am shocked by his loss and want to share my condolences with his family, May his memory be eternal.

Max was an incredibly brilliant person that impacted the world.  He would also do anything for anyone.  He shared all of his adventures and wanted everyone to experience the incredible places that he visited.  I was amazed at the videos he shared with me of bears in Alaska, landscapes in New Zealand, and all of the other places he went.  At the center of all of this was his family.  I am devastated by this loss and offer my deepest sympathy to you in this time.  Please know that we are praying for comfort for your family.

Thanks Max, you have been a great colleague and a lovely person!
We will miss you.


My deepest condolences to the Natalia, Elizabeth and Alice. Our thoughts are with you and we praying for you..

I always appreciated Max for his patience.


Max,

It’s hard to imagine we will no longer see you walking the Shell office and labs.  You are severely missed.

I will remember you for your technical brilliance, amazing presentation skills (I never knew a scientist could be so engaging), adventurous vacations (I still dream of going to Alaska from your pics and videos), your ongoing game of office chess and much more…. 

You have a beautiful family.  My sincere thoughts and prayers to you all.

Condolences,
Carla Preston (Shell)
