The first time I met Max Collins was at Shapiro's Restaurant in Indiannapolis, Indiana at a family gathering. Max met me for the first time with a great big bear hug. I liked him instantly. He soon became my brother-in-law and gave me a 'heads up' about some of the Collins' traits and then would debate in his good natured way about who was the most stubborn: Donny or Max! May the good Lord bless my brother-in-law and keep you in his care.

I remember the first time I met Max Collins at Shapiro's Restaurant in Indiannapolis; he didn't shake my hand but gave me a big bear hug! I liked him instantly and he became the best brother-in-law a girl could ever ask for . . . your spirit lives on in the kindness you've shown to me and others along the way! R.I.P. brother-in-law.

I did not ever have the chance to meet Max but knowing his Brother Don as I do, if he was anything like him he had to be a Wonderful Man. May your Spirit and Soul be with Our Father and Jesus Christ in Heaven.
