Max L. "Sonny" Ezell, age 81 of Loretto, Tennessee passed away peacefully Sunday, December 31, 2017 at Williamson Medical Center in Franklin, TN., after a short illness. Up until the end, his self-drive, humor and positive attitude remained - stories shared, funnies made and love abounding.

Max set the standard on working hard and had many achievements in his life. He graduated from Loretto High School in 1954. He served in the United States Army and was a member of the American Legion Post 146. He was a member of the Iron Workers Local 492 and retired at the age of 62. Max had an extraordinary coaching career that spanned more than 40 years. His ministry was thru the game of baseball.

He touched many young lives as he taught youths how to be winners and how to accept defeat. Max enjoyed most all competitive activities and games; however, playing cards was at the top of the list. Most would say he was one of the best card players they ever knew.

Robert (Bob) Lee Curtis, passed away on Sunday, October 22nd at the Mt. Pleasant Health and Rehabilitation Center. Bob was born on July 2, 1934 in the small community of Mt. Joy in Maury County, the son of the late William and Evelyn Curtis. Bob and his late wife, Martha Rebecca Curtis, recently celebrated their 61st st wedding anniversary. He served proudly in the Korean War, but understood the toll it look on his fellow countrymen and rarely spoke of his time there.

After the war, he spent over 30 years as a welder and pipefitter. To say he was an avid outboorsman is a bit of an understatement; between hunting and fishing, he had a hobby for every season. Unwilling to stand still, after work he could be found in the shed behind his house tinkering on an engine. Every spring he planted a garden and his corn and green bearns were the best you ever tasted (with Rebecca's help, obviously). However, his greatest enjoyment in life was his family and enjoyed spending time with them as often as he could.

Survivors include his children, Michael (Donna) Curtis, Mickey Curtis, and Matthew (Melissas) Curtis, all of Summertown
