  6. Loved youngest brother of Leon(dec) and Judy, and legendary uncle of Denise and Rex Habel, Angela and Neal Reid, Amanda Williams, John and Belinda, Neil and Kezya, Chris and Kathy and all of their children. A shrewd and feisty character who ensured that tall tales and quick witted banter were part of our memorable interactions. Max, you will be sadly missed.
