Dear Griego family, please accept my sincere condolences. Max was a kind soul and was loved and admired by those that knew him. Sending you healing thoughts.
Great leader for youth teaching Karate, It made me a better person by knowing him. He will be missed.
Max was my cousin. From my childhood I’ve always looked up to him, respected him and loved him. I have incredibly great memories of our summers together in both Galveston and Connecticut. He wasn’t cousin to me more than he was a wonderful. I will miss him dearly.
Cathy & family, I am so sorry. My prayers are with ya’ll.
Thank you everyone
