To all of the Konigsberg family members,We are so sorry for your loss. Max was incredible in every way. I have the best memories of our talks on the beach and floating in the water. Our mom, Sheila, and Max had endless intellectual conversations. Max was epic and nothing seemed to slow him down. Even with limited eyesight, he could make his way into the water and he could swim like a dolphin. He was full of love and so welcoming to us always. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Esther, Philip and Rochelle, and the entire family-I am so sad to hear that my good and special friend Max has passed. I will miss the many moments he and I had the opportunity to chat. I learned so much from your dad and he was truly an inspiration to me. He challenged me to consider training for the 1982 New York City Marathon. He said if I would make the commitment he would support me by training in Montreal and then come to NY and run it with me. He explained the many things I would learn from this. He convinced me and he did come to NY and we ran and finished the marathon together. I have so many wonderful memories of being in Saint Donat skiing with him and your Mom. Please pass condolences from me and Trina to your family. I pray that this sadness will quickly be replaced with the many happy times you had together.RIP dear friend and give a kiss to Shirley for us.😢Joel and Trina

Marlene Levine- about 11 hours ago
Dear family. My most sincere condolences on Max passing. I first met Shirley and Max in the summer of 1959, when my late husband Sidney, introduced me as his “intended”. Max and Sid had been at McGill studying accounting. I shopped at “Shirley's” on Van Horne.Our friendship endured, as our paths crossed so many times over the years. Helping distribute Max’s book for JGH, the Mega Mission to Israel, and visiting with the Hazenofs stand out among many. Max and Shirley became a power couple, with warmth love and generosity. Max, what a life well lived! You will be missed. Marlene
Jane and Larry Plotnick- about 11 hours ago
Our most sincere condolences. We are certain that Max will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him as they are with us always in heart and spirit. . It has been some time since we had spent time together, but the recollections are all so vivid and positive. Max was absolutely a one-of-a-kind person. Unique. Fun. Adventuresome. We had some wonderful times together and perhaps most memorable was our 3 weeks in South Africa. May his memories remain timeless treasures of the heart. Our compassion and sympathy go out to the entire family.

B`HThe Image of G-d, of course, is implanted on every human being.Yet how Max Konigsberg gently displays his integrity and moreover loves the holy in others is an exceptional beauty of life. Max’s lifelong honour to his parents expresses continually and so evokes the Al-Mighty’s Blessing. Max lives in harmony with G-d, his treasured inner circle and with inner calm. It is a deep, requited love, which continues to live within us all. Yehi zichro baruch.

Louise Tanguay- about 21 hours ago
Max will be remembered for the business he built and pride he took in running an excellent company. But those of us who were fortunate enough to know the man behind the successful machine he built, know that he cared more about the people than of the business itself. He was a teacher, a giver and a leader in every sense of the word. Those who crossed his path were enrichened by the mere fact of spending time with him. Max changed peoples lives and was an Integral part of the lives of so many families who depended on him. Maxie without Shirley was not the Maxie that we knew. We all felt the sadness and loneliness of the last couple of years without his beloved. And this was very hard to witness for a man that gave so much to so many and for so many years. They are together at last. Rest in peace dear max.
Stephen Epstein- about 22 hours ago
Dear Konigsberg family,My deepest sympathies to everyone. Not sure I can tip what has already been said of such an amazing human being.

I will never forget the impact he had on myself and for that I will be forever grateful.
