  [S3430] Obituary, Max Rothschild. Max Rothschild was born in Bruchsol, Germany February 19, 1922. After a long life committed to his loving family he passed peacefully at his home, March 26, 2016. His early years in Germany were spent avoiding capture by the Nazis. Concerned about the safety of their son, his parents sent him to live with relatives in the the United States. Being a fighter, it was a natural for him to join the US Armed Forces where he served with distinction in the Pacific. Although their life in Germany was privileged, Max became a laborer in the United States, working in the floor covering trade in Detroit. Given his excellent speaking ability and tremendous knowledge, one would never know that he never completed high school. He did however earn his GED and subsequently did take some college courses and became a Certified Gemologist. Having entrepreneurial inclinations, soon after the war, and after meeting and marrying his first wife, Portia, Max tried his hand at owning a floor covering business. He also started having children with the birth of his first son, Arthur After terminating his business in Detroit, Max moved to Jackson, Michigan where he ran one of his father in law's jewelry stores. His second two children Steven and Linda were also born in Jackson. The family subsequently moved to Muskegon, Michigan where he became president and general manager of Budd's jewelry. After his first marriage ended, and subsequent to managing jewelry stores throughout the country, he met the love of his life, Beatrice, whom he married and traveled the world with over the next 35 years. Max leaves behind many loving children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren both from his first marriage and from his marriage to Bea. In addition to having been an active member of Temple Emanuel in Oak Park, Michigan, Max was active at Temple Beth Orr in Coral Springs, Florida. He was also active in The Masonic Lodge in Michigan and Florida.
