“Our families will always remember one of our favorite sayings of his. We have even taught it to our children! If life were fair, Mr. Zurko would have hair! Thank you for one of life’s most truthful sayings from our time at Florida High! The Smith kids: Sherrie ‘87, Bill ‘88, Eddie ‘90 and Marc ‘95”

Wade D wrote a sympathy message

“He was quite the character around Florida High and tried his best to educate us kids without one us losing a finger. Always ready with good cheer and a smile and willing to go the extra mile. I am lucky enough to have some great memories of him, and of course his awesome van. May he and his family be at peace.”

Jenny Hart wrote a sympathy message

“The Hart family wishes to extend our sympathies in the passing of Max. He was our daughter’s teacher at Florida High. Although it’s been 20 years, she remembers him well, his sense of humor, and his supportive nature. A fond memory of hers is the old van he drove to the school. It had a large Nike swish logo on the side. When students asked why, he said it made it “run fast and jump high!” We hope your memories of Max give you peace and leave you with a smile in your heart. The Harts”
