 To the family of Max Brendel Jacob ILAND

On behalf of the Cusin family I would like to send our sincerest condolences to you on the passing of your beloved. Rest in Peace.

Sincerely
Marzia Cusin

I taught with Max for years at Norte Dame des Grands Lacs.  He was always the happiest when teaching French and watching his students grow and mature.  He taught me a lot about how to care for our environment.  And, of course, he always bragged about his children…Yacov and Hannah.  He will be greatly missed.

....I taught with Max at Alexander Henry . He had my admiration for his dedication and enthusiasm for teaching.  The world is a better place because of his influence My condolences to his family and friends


We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Max.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.  Lajeunesse family

We had the priviledged opportunity to meet Max for the first time at Yaacov and Julia's wedding.
It was a wonderful chance to be with a man whose life was so full and exceptional.
Our thoughts and support are with the Iland family.


Margaret and Ken
(Yaacov's mother-in-law and father-in-law)
.....  and Ari's very, very proud Gram and Grandpa!!!!

I had the great pleasure of meeting and chatting with Max when I was last at our cottage near Port Finlay.
Elizabeth has told me many stories,  happy, sad and funny, about Max over the past years, and always filled with his life presence.
With our condolences,
Naomi (Elizabeth's sister), Bob, Caroni and Keith


Max and Rosanne were neighbours of  ours for several years. Our children went through elementary school together. I remember Max as a strong man,  both physically and intellectually.
We enjoyed  many stimulating conversations together.
He will be missed.
My condolences to Rosanne and the family.




Max was a wonderful part of our family life for 60 years. Always strong and enthusiastic, we enjoyed many sing-songs and canoe trips with Max.  I loved your dad. At my mother's 90th birthday, he shared with us that he always saw my mother Betty as his mother figure. Rest in heaven. I hope Haanah and Yaacov know they are loved, and that tears and joy are both very similar & needed emotional parts of grief. Mark Yan

Max Iland was a very old friend to the Yan family. We met when Max moved to the Sault in 1954. He became an extended part of our family and has stayed that way over the years. He taught us the Frozen Logger song and you can see his exuberance as he sang it at our home for our daughter`s bat mitzvah party in 1997. Here you can see  Joel (left side ) and Norman Yan by his side. We love you and miss you Max.

Our sincere condolences to Yaacov and Hannah Iland and family and to Elizabeth Christie on the death of their father and special friend Max Iland.
 In this photo from our friday night Shabbat dinner in 1997 to celebrate the bat mitzvah of our daughter Meira Yan,  Max is cutting the challah bread and making the blessing .  Look at the wonderful smile on Max`s face as he says a few words. Such good memories!  
May you rest in peace, old friend. May your family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
