Max enjoyed his elk hunting trips to Colorado, fly fishing locally for trout and small mouth bass. Canoeing and backpacking with his son, Brian and friends, on the Boundary Waters of Ely Minnesota was another enjoyment. He enjoyed hiking at Backbone State Park in all seasons, was a huge enthusiast of his ham radio and was very proud of his German heritage.  Max was an avid photographer and had his photos published and was an entrant in many photo contests, but most of all Max enjoyed spending time with his family.
