    I was one of the Monday night group at the Post. Max was a an integral part of that group. He would pick up the women who either didn’t drive or shouldn’t drive. He was a “mensch”.
    My condolences to you all.

    Tetelbaum family,
    Max was such a dear friend ,in the last 3-4 years, we talked about how his life played out.
    I always told him to write a book,
    on himself. He was a accomplished buisness man.And loved his family and friends.
    He always said to me ,that we do the best we can,with our limited ability. Sorry for your loss, he is at peace.
    Sincerly, John Jr, Charlie,and Helena.

You were someone he felt he could always talk to and count on and that is was a gift to him and to us, his family. Thank you and we are sorry for your loss of a dear friend .
      Sincerely, Joan

    I am so sorry for your loss and I will miss him greatly. I will miss every moment I spent with him driving him to and from Florida through the years…

      My Dad loved his rides to Florida with you. He had no interest in flying, had too much fun on his road trip with you. He was really hoping to make that trip again with you this year but it wasn’t in the cards. Thank you for making that possible for him every year.

    Sorry for your loss. Have fond memories of your dad and mother and of Ken who is about my age. My mother Bernice Cohen Rosenberg was a first cousin to Estelle. My grandmother was Anna Slepkow Cohen and shared a home for many years with Auntie Bella Slepkow. I remember going to Korbs and seeing Auntie Bella. So this is how we are related. Again my sympathy to all your family.
    Your Cousin, Barry
