Max loved to come to Mcdonalds daily. I knew when I came to work he would be sitting by the window. I always went out to talk to him. I’ll never forget he called me the “queen”. He will surely be missed. RIP Max.

Only knew Peapicker a few short years from the Cb Radio. He was instantly a friend over the airwaves and even met him at McDonalds and he came here with Blondie for lunch. Channel 13 will never be the same. Fly high Peapicker and enjoy them wings.

I never will forget him holding Chris as a baby and chris falling a sleep on his papaw Max
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there—I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints in snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
As you awake with morning’s hush
I am the swift-up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there—I did not die.
Praying for you all
