James Allan "Max" Maxwell

James Allan "Max" Maxwell - passed away March 5, 2020 at the age of 62. He lived all his life in Kentville, attended KCA and later Kings Vocational School.

Max was a great baseball player in his youth, played football, hockey and later slow pitch. His passions included the NY Yankees, Pittsburgh Steelers, fly fishing, cottage life with family and any kind of music-his favourite being John Prine. His sense of humour was fantastic and he was very quick with a one liner and a huge smile. Max’s kindness and huge heart was unmatched. Max was past president and long-time member of the Kings County Commercial Travellers Association and the Billiards Club. He served for many years on the organizing committee for the Labour Day Oland Slow Pitch Tournament. He worked in Kentville at the local bars for a number of years, then at ACA Co-op, later Eden Valley Poultry where he recently retired after 30 + years.
