Looking for Teammates of Max A. Sanchez

Merry Christmas Brothers!
Need your help as we have had a posting on the CCT Memorial Guest Book from David Sanchez who's father is a CCT Brother not doing well.
“For those of you Old Timers back in the early 70's from Dyess AFB, just thought I would give you an update on my Dad, Max A. Sanchez. Unfortunately time has not been good to him.
Anyone still around from Max's days, please get in contact with me. I would appreciate it, I know that my mother, Kazue would appreciate it.
Thank You, David Sanchez, the proud son of a Combat Control Vietnam Vet.”
