God bless Max
If you visited a corvette show in the Panhandle of Florida and other locations like Charleston,Corpis(the Lex), Slidell, St Augustine et. al. you would appreciate a great person in Max.
Max Tidmore just passed away. As a corvette enthusiast and cruise director for Sunset Vettes he was unequaled in his ability to get people together to enjoy the car hobby. To know him was to like him.
We wish his wife Maria the best in this difficult time. If I had a brother I would have wanted him to be Max.
A sad time indeed.

Max was indeed a pleasure to speak with at the last and only show I ever met him at, Vettes at the Village...............
He loved his car and we had a chance to talk shop for a while. Super nice guy and I was very saddened to hear about his passing.
Only new Max for a day, but I know that his family and friends will miss him for a lifetime...............
Take Care and God Speed Max

Max will certainly be missed by all who knew him. We had over 40 Corvettes at the memorial service Saturday afternoon. It was an impressive sight.

Here are some pics from the service. I'm sure Max was proud to see the Vette show is his honour from up above. That's Max's prized 96 coupe at centre stage.

Max always remarked that he could never get more than 20 cars to a cruise. He would have been pleased with the turnout. The pictures are really great and thank you. cutnout aka Charlie
