Maxie was the life of the party, a happy person, he would always find a way to make you laugh, his sense of humor was the greatest. No
matter who you were he would figure out a way to make you laugh. Some referred to him as “George Jefferson” in his younger days, and as he
got older, he was the light skinned “Mr. Brown”. Maxie was determined to follow his dream, and as he would often say, “Live Life to The
Fullest”. Maxie was the “King of the Grill” he loved to barbecue, and would always take his time and make sure that the meat was cooked just
right, and top his ribs with his special sauce.

California area. Maxie also had a starring role in a play, “Cutting Corners”, which featured Al Wilson singer of (Show and Tell). Maxie had the
natural talent of a comedy; he really knew how to make you laugh. Maxie will be missed for his fun-loving ways, and congenial spirit, his knack
for fashion, throwing on his rags and enjoying the finer things in life.
