Our Memories
»
We have several stories to share about our times spent with Max. Feel free to submit your story to be added here.
I never met Max in person, but I kind of got to know him through Laura after he died. Seeing Laura's pictures of him and hearing the hundreds of stories she has to tell about him makes it clear that the world lost a wonderful human being when he was killed. I went with Laura to visit his grave for the first time since the funeral, and in the long car rides from Hofstra to Storrs to Boston to the cemetary and back, we talked about the usual stuff. But every once in a while, when it was quiet, or when she spoke of him, I swear I could feel Max in the car with us, perhaps in the back seat, perhaps sitting in Fu's lap, who knows? Yes, I never met Max, but I know that he deeply touched someone I care very much about. His continued presence in the lives of those he was close to is a testament to his kind heart and open soul, and I feel the loss of never having had the chance to meet him.

For those of you who don't know of Max, my name is Cheryl Felix. In 1975, I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting and working in Boston with Ms Lisa Kolb, Max's Mom and Tom Kolb, Max's Dad. I knew of Max's Uncles, David and Jonathan and his wonderful family relationship. Over the years, Lisa and I developed a very close friendship. We were both pregnant at the same time, Lisa gave birth to Max and I gave birth to my son Dwayne. I am a mother of 2 boys, and during Max's family weekend visit at our house in Providence, my younger son and Max Kolb, shared the same bed and crib as babies.
Every year we would have an Easter Egg hunt and Max would find the most eggs, we would have the egg design contest and Max would win, any activities we choose to play with our kids "Max was ALWAYS" the WINNER.
In my eyes, Max will always be remembered as one of the brightest, talented, creative and aspiring young man I have ever know.
As dare friends/family, my sons and Max continued to live as "brothers" even when they attended different colleges miles apart.
I am happy to see the "legacy" of Max alive and given back with blessings. Max as you know, you were very dear to my heart as my own son. My love to YOU, Lisa (his mother), Jean and the rest of the family.
-From your dear friends in Rhode Island.
Cheryl, Gus, Lynton & Dwayne Felix Peace & Love to you, as you would always say to me :-).
