A sad day for the Catalina 30 Family

[KWKloeber]

Max's family had informed the Association of his sudden passing.  The following will appear in the Spring Mainsheet issue:

A sad day for the Catalina 30 Family.
Millard "Max" Munger, Jr., 78, passed unexpectedly on January 4.  The Association fondly remembers Max as having many loves but primarily his deep passion for the C30 and his unselfish and unwavering dedication to its membership.  He served as Commodore multiple times, initiated and administered the website and email forums, handled membership and financial aspects, and was the Association's steadfast guiding beacon.  His heart was as huge as his stature and he was easily recognized by sight and his hearty laugh.  He will be missed but joyfully remembered forever as "Mr. Catalina 30."  Our collective hearts and prayers are extended to Max's family.


Due to the timing of his passing and publication deadline, the Association officers will be preparing a more extensive celebration of Max's life to publish in the Mainsheet Summer issue.

Sad to hear, I sailed on Shermax many times with Max. He was always very sharing and understanding with all crew member.  Shermax was his SMSA race boat for many years. Pushing a TM C30 around the race course has it challenges.  As he knew every Catalina 30 on the bay he was able to get a few for Screwpile one of the bigger multi day regattas on the Chesapeake.  There was no mistaking Max's sailing gloves he was a big guy with a big heart.
