Hey Max, I remember our first encounter, you were lovely, and I immediately liked you. We had a lovely time getting to know you and Rosemary Luke, Andy, Sara. We had some lovely time together and I'm am so very privaledged to have met you. I loved your humour Max and I'm smiling thinking of your funny mannerism how you would lean over to me and say something very funny as if you and I were the only ones to notice.You will be missed Max catch up

Lieber Max Schade, dass die Zeit mit Dir nun zu Ende ist, traurig, dass Du so schnell von uns gegangen bist. Ich werde die vielen interessanten Gespräche mit Dir sehr vermissen. All die Geschichten und Erlebnisse, die ich mit Dir zusammen erleben durfte, werden mir stets in guter Erinnerung bleiben.

Liebe Max du bist jetzt fort, aber wir werden dich nicht vergessen. In all den Jahren, die wir uns kannten haben wir viel gelacht und philisophiert. Doch nun ist es Zeit, Abschied zu nehmen. Wir danken dir für die unvergesslichen Momente, Du warst ein Teil unserer Klassengemeinschaft und wirst es immer sein. Auch wenn du jetzt fort bist, werden wir dich im Herzen bewahren. Die Erinnerungen werden uns für immer begleiten. Lebwohl, Schulkollege. Möge deine Reise sicher und glücklich sein. Wir werden dich immer in in unseren Gedanken haben.

Du kannst Tränen vergiessen, weil er gehen musste Oder du kannst lächeln, weil er gelebt hat. Du kannst die Augen schliessen und hoffen, dass er wiederkehrt Oder du kannst die Augen öffnen, und all das sehen, was er hinterlassen hat. You may shed tears because he had to go Or you smile because he lived. You may close your eyes and hope that he will return. Or you open your eyes and see all that he left behind.

I spent many of my teenage hours growing up within the walls of his house and was always made to feel welcome. I felt like just another kid in their family whenever I was there, and the memories, conversations and lively debates over the spaghetti is something I’ll keep with me forever. Max really was one of a kind and the love that I saw he had for his family and anyone who shared in their lives was incredible. A proud family man who taught me a lot and I am forever grateful. Love to you all, look after each other x

Max was a man of excellent taste! And a wicked sense of humour! Sarah is my closest friend and I have nothing but gratitude and thanks for this wonderful man who helped bring her into this world and into my life. Rest well good sir. Rosemarie My heart is with you and the family during this difficult time.

Max was one out the bag, a real character with a wicked sense of humour. Also a deep thinker and quite philosophical. Having one's computer or IT system repaired by Max was quite an experience- as well as the repair (which he always managed successfuly) Max would always engage in a lengthy discussion about some world issue and he was never shy to give his opinion. Far from it. A proud father and family man too. Our condolences to Rosmarie and family.

Max was certainly a character, an eccentric who had a heart of gold and a great sense of humour (which was certainly outside the square) Very much appreciated his IT skills and service over the klast 20-25 years RIP Max and all the best Rosemary

In Gedenken und Erinnerung an Max! Reto Krienbühl Freund von Sämi Marti, Glarus, Riedern GL

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Rosmarie , Luke , Andy , Sarah and their families. It was a great sorrow and shock to us, to hear that Max was gone. He seemed to be one of those people with such a big personality that he would somehow defy the laws of physics, and always be with us. It was a huge honour to be his friend . Over the years we enjoyed many entertaining times at the Krieg's, eating Rosmaries delicious meals and chatting about all kinds of subjects . John would sometimes say ' Max,! you cant say that !' but of course, Max did, and we loved him for that. .He made us laugh, but we could see that Max was also a deep thinker, He cared about lots of things, especially his beloved family. Max also had the qualities of kindness and generosity, that he showed to his friends and family and his community. We were lucky enough to see that, and be part of that . Thank you Max, for being our friend . Go well, we will never forget you. John and Jayne Boesley and family. Xxx

I first met Max in 2009. Over the years I came to appreciate his sharp analytical mind, his philosophical approach and his mischievous sense of humour. I will miss him and remember him fondly Clinton Anderson

Margaret and I remember happy meals together when the Krieg family first arrived in Matakana. We had deep discussions about Luke's beginning class. I think we recommended he go straight to Mahurangi College. Andy was a willing student and soon became a high achiever....as did Sarah. Max was a vigorous and quick witted debater. I enjoyed his repartee at Rotary discussions. I remember too his generosity to Matakana School. He provided computers and printers at cost....and oftentimes never actually charged for them. Max achieved a goal with his children. They have settled well in NZ. I am sure they all appreciate what parents Max and Rosmarie have done for them.
