This is a photo I took of former Mayor Nancy Tyra-Lukens and Max McGee, former Green Bay Packer great and Twin Cities businessman. The photo comes from the grand opening of Eden Prairie’s The Original Pancake House. The Original Pancake House restaurant is just one of many business interests that McGee maintained in the Twin Cities. The restaurant hit a niche in Eden Prairie that we needed. It was fun to meet meet him. He told a couple of good stories and showed off his Super Bowl ring, all in low key classy manner.
Mr. McGee died on Saturday from injuries sustained in a fall. There will be a public service for Mr. McGee at Grace Church here in Eden Prairie on Sunday, October 28 at 3pm. You can read more about Mr. McGee at this link to a story in today’s Minneapolis Star-Tribune: “Very, very large crowd expected at Twin Cities funeral for Packers legend Max McGee“.
Rest In Peace Max McGee.
