Long time SID Max Gerber died today at 88. He was SID ten years before I started running there to give you some idea. Went from 1960-88 and saw some great Rocket teams in that span. RIP Max!

Still remember when I was a student sitting in the front row of the student section right behind press row one of the refs was standing right in front of us had blown a call one os the students sarcastically said "Nice call" Max turned around and said "what do you mean nice call you can see the welts on the guy from here" Classic momment

Was always a first class guy.

Many in the sports world and in this part of the country, has fond memories of Max.

Had the privilege of working for Max as a student assistant back in the 70's, learned a lot about professionalism and class from him.

Big loss for the Rocket community.

Nice article from the Toledo Blade.

Back in his day, Max was a one man office. He went from August through March with NO ONE helping. Almost 7 days a week and on every road trip. Unbelievable when you think of it. Truly a dedicated guy. RIP Max![
