Max Waterson

Harold Max Waterson, age 92, of Huntertown, died at home on Friday, February 8, 2019.  Mr. Waterson was born at home on July 12, 1926 in Leo-Cedarville, Cedar Creek Township to Clarence McKee and Eva Mae (Gump) Waterson.  He loved God, family, country, and friends.  A WWII veteran, he honorably served his country in the United States Army from 1945 – 1946 and in the Army Reserves for three years. He was employed with the Dana Corporation for 37 years before retiring in 1983. He found joy in everything electrical, fishing, music, games, and travel.  He spent eight years with RVICS and loved vacation time with his family. As a young boy, a church invitation to his best friend generated years of service to Christ which becomes a living testament to his faithfulness to God.
