Max was a '90 Day Wonder' and my first boss, along with Barney Warren, on the DUCHESS in 1975. He knew exactly where to clout the valves on the hoists to get them working! Took us under his wing and gave us good practicle training following NIRIMBA. Sad news.

Max I were mates back in the early 80's.

I recall handing over the bar keys to him when he turned up to do the NTS Belconnen Duty Chief duty only to stay onboard overnight due to him getting me a little too confused to drive. We constructed several spit roast machines using windscreen wiper motors. Good times and a great bloke.
