The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and there was excitement in the air at Juniper Village at Brookline Senior Living on Saturday, August 20th. Residents finished lunch early, put on their party clothes, and gathered in the Willows Dining Room to celebrate a day with their dear friend and neighbor, Max Confer. Max was smiling from ear to ear for the two hours that friends and family gathered to wish him the happiest of 100th birthdays. True to his form, Max maintained his grace, kindness, and true love of life while sporting a festive birthday hat.
Along with a variety of appetizers, three cakes were served, each representing important roles he has each day; a friend, a father, and a "Gramps." Throughout the room snapshots of Max's personal history decorated the tables. Photos included pictures of him with family, his years in the United States service, and fun times of travel throughout his life. Banners and balloons added an extra treat for the youngest of Max's family members present, ranging from several months old to several years old.
It is truly Juniper's honor that Max chose to move to Juniper Village at Brookline Senior Living Community several years ago. Like many, Max brings such joy to the lives of other residents as well as the staff each day. Happy Birthday Max!
