A mass of energy, a big smiler, and a total water baby at Brockwell Lido. He was a real Brixton boy, in the best sense. He'll be much missed. Lots of love to all Max's family and friends.

He was a pleasure to teach, had a genuine interest in history, and loved the work we did on the Ruyssian Revolution and the Cold War. Max was immediatly likeable, settled into The Charter School really quickly and was such a fun loving happy person, able to have really mature conversations, and develop great rapport between himself and those he met. A real cheeky chappie, who will be sadly missed, not just by myself, but all the teachers at The Charter School who knew him, and the huge number of friends he made while he was here.

I am one of his and Leo's old teachers from Sudbourne, back then I was Miss Parker. I have some lovely memories of a 10 year old Max playing cricket on a Friday afternoon with Tony Moody, being right at the centre of the Sudbourne pack. I am thinking of you all so much and send you all my love. Cate Mason directed me to Max's Foundation, how incredibly moving that you are collecting money towards both Tony's cricket and Whippersnappers, I have made a donation through my husband's paypal account. With fondest regards, Sophie. Dearest Polly, Gerhard and Leo,
