Max was united in marriage to Mary Ann Ludlum on October 5, 1963 at St. Philomena Catholic Church, Belmont. Max was a lifelong farmer but was also a truck driver for many years. He was an avid hunter and enjoyed watching westerns and following the Packers, Badgers, and Brewers. Max also loved his Farmall Tractors and seldom missed a chance to play cards with family and friends. He never tired of telling stories, a good practical joke or having a brandy with family and friends.

Max is survived by his loving wife, Mary Ann; four children, CeeCee Fink, Craig (Sherry) Fink, Christy (Fudd Weyer) Fink, and Charlie Fink; two grandsons, Declan and Konnor Fink; brother, Norbert Fink; brother and sisters-in-law, Larry (Sharon) Ludlum and Diane Ludlum and numerous nieces and nephews.

A special Thanks to the staff at Sienna Crest – Platteville and SWHC EMS for their service and care.

my thoughts are with your family especially now. Your dad your hero. A few memories of him include him yodeling in the shop, his string of dogs and raising the little raccoons.

So sorry for your loss. I remember going on the bus with him and Mary Ann to Belmont football games. He also coon hunted and talked to Dave about dogs and tractors. He will be missed.

I am so very sorry to read of Max passing away. We all must go at some point, but that doesn't make it any easier. I have wonderful memories of Max and coon hunting, his marvelous great big grin, and all the chuckles. You have my deepest sympathy. I'll hold you all in my thoughts and prayers.

When I was growing up, I looked forward to seeing him honk in his semi, as he went around the corner, by our house. It was extremely special, the couple times, he would stop and let me ride with him on his road trip. He is a wonderful man and a great husband, father, and friend. Wishing you all peace. HUGS to you all!!!

We were so sorry to hear of Max passing. We"re grateful we saw Max about a year ago, and he was so enjoyable, as always. We will always remember his smile and giggle, and the twinkle in his eyes as he made Mary Ann and everyone around him laugh. Just thinking about him makes me smile. He was a kind sweet man.
