Biographical Information:
Max was a 1954 graduate of the Monon High School and served Honorably in the U.S. Army from June 28, 1955 to January 12, 1957. He had worked at NIPSCO (Northern Indiana Public Service Company) for 24 years and retired from the State of Indiana in 2002. His love affair beyond his family and friends was singing. Max directed and sang with the Tippecanotes Barbershop group in Lafayette for 40 years, leading them to their only District Championship in 1971. One of the proudest moments of his singing career was being invited to sing with The Hartsmen Barbershop group in Michigan City, Indiana where he sang with them for 25 years. The Hartsmen performed, competed and recorded throughout the Midwest, in addition to a 1994 tour in Europe. His singing also included Monon United Methodist Church choir and hundreds of special events, weddings, funerals and national anthems; highlighted by an invitation from the Purdue Women's Basketball program. Max was a member of the Monon United Methodist Church of Monon, Indiana. He was a Tippecanoe County Cancer Survivor of the year. Max approached his ten year battle with cancer with an infectious personality and positive attitude. He loved attending Purdue Women's Basketball games with his wife and friends, and relished every chance to see his children and grandchildren perform in school activities and sporting events. Max loved to fish and ride his scooter. Max always had a smile on his face, a hug to give and a song in his heart.
