Max Edwin Tapp, Sr.
March 9, 1923 – May 30, 2011
88 years old, dad was an absolute loving human being… Served in the US Navy during WWII and the Korean Conflict on the USS Randolph where I have many 16mm movies of planes landing on the aircraft carrier. He passed away peacefully on Memorial Day, we had a wonderful service at the 1st Methodist Church in Chamblee where he grew up (me too) and then another heart felt Military Memorial Service.
Dad played a Hammon organ and with a Leslie speaker would play at various clubs and restaurants around town. Back in the ’80s, he took a set of vibes and using electrical nodes to command a cylindrical-ping to play a note from the organ when he flipped a switch… He also wrote a song listed with the US Copyright office and at a gig was once asked if he knew his zipper was down, he said that no he didn’t, but if you would hum a few bars he would give it a try. He was a funny man and if you ever met dad the first thing he would do in conversation would be to tell you a joke. If you were a female… chances are he would address you as “Sugar”, pronounced “Shugga” and when his pastor received her Doctorate, he would call her Dr. Sugar.
On my shelf today is a 4 inch tall wire supported rubber figure of Mickey Mouse. When I was 12, we took a Bell & Howell 8mm movie camera, and by repositioning Mickey in various walking positions recorded him walking out in front of a painting, taking a bow and then walking back off stage… It took hours to complete and once we got the film back to play the movie, it only lasted for 15 seconds… but the experience and fun of that will certainly last my entire life.
When I was 10, dad took my sister Nancy and I across country on a train, staying in the Pullman, eating in the dinner from Atlanta to Los Angeles… another life long lasting experience…. One of the things that chanced my life was going to the Fox Theatre back then to see The South Pacific and the pre-show was a movie where YOU were in the seat of a roller coster, on the top of a sail boat, what we would think of today as iMax.
Talking about Max… that is my dads name, mine too… I miss his smile, his unconditional love, as he would constantly ask for your attention and then introduce me as his son… I miss him so very much… Happy Fathers day my sweet father…!
