Not sure what to say?

Dr. Maxwell was my favorite professor at UNCP teaching me many things. He was a patient man answering my many questions. He introduced us to Scientific American a journal to this day I love, and most of all gave me confidence that I could pursue my dream of a higher education. He was definitely a motivating factor in me becoming a dentist. His integrity, fairness, and making you to strive to be a better student will be missed, but I hope not forgotten. There will be many health professionals...

Dave Maxwell was a good friend to my family. He was well loved by the brother-in-law Andy Ash and his wife and children. I was fortunate to be in Dave's company on a few occasions, what a fine gentleman. I hope his family, friends and students find some comfort knowing he impacted so many lives. His legacy lives on...

I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Dr. Harold Maxwell. May God comfort you during this most difficult time.

Sincerely

Dr Maxwell was my favorite professor while I attended Pembroke State University 1986-1990. As a biology major, I was privileged to take a lot of classes that he taught. He was such an awesome teacher and human being, so knowledgeable, patient and genuinely caring. He will always be someone I remember with great respect and admiration. He was so much more than a teacher of biology, by modeling dedication and integrity in how he conducted himself, he inspired others to do the same. Today I...

I was shocked to hear of Dr.,Maxwell's death. I didn't realize he was just five years older than I was when he taught me zoology during the spring semester in 1969 at what was then Pembroke State College. I thought he was a great teacher. I used to go by his office and we would have long talks. He was instrumental in my decision to major in biology. May God wrap his everlasting arms around his family and give you peace.

I was at a loss for words after hearing this news. He was my professor at UNCP in 1997-1999. I loved Dr Maxwell. He was one of the catalyst to inspire my love for anatomy. His dry sense of humor when we would go on science trips was memorable. He was one of the reasons I did well at UNCP and gave me the passion to want to become a physician. He will always be a man I will honor and remember forever. RIP we will take it from here. Prayers for the family.

I had Dr. Maxwell for A&P I & II. I have great respect for him and his dedication to UNCP. Terribly sorry to hear of his untimely passing. May the family find comfort and treasure his memory in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Dr. Maxwell was a humble and kind man. He touched so many lives on a daily basis. He will always be remembered and his impact will radiate through the successes of those he touched.

Suzanne, I am so sorry for you, your mom and family's loss. May God give you all Peace and comfort at this time and thru the days ahead. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
