WWII Marine vet, 99, wins battle with coronavirus: 'I've gone through hell more than once and this came almost as close'

I have known Max for over four years; he has always been a "fire cracker".
It has always been a treasure to speak with and listen to him.
I hope to have more times in the near future to do so.
