Not sure what to say?

Please accept my sympathy for your loss. I could never put into words the amount of love and respect I have for "Doc". I'm so glad that he was able to realize his wish to bring the circus to Easton before he passed away. One of the proudest moments of my life was the day that he first talked to me about helping him with that goal. I asked him "Why did you call me, Doc, you know a lot of people that could help?" His reply -- "Because I KNOW that you can get it done!" Rest in peace "Doc". You...

I too was brought into this world by Dr. Maxfield. So were my sister and brother...he tended to all of our childhood issues..he pierced my ears, he cut a chunk of metal off my pinky finger (on a holiday weekend no less)....the list goes on as I am sure it does for many others in the Mason City community. John, Mark and Marcia...my sincerest sympathy is with you all. And for my dear friend Carol...you are in my heart and prayers during this difficult time.

My Dear Friend Carol,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

Please accept our condolences on your loss. Your dad was such a great doctor and friend. When I moved to Mason City in 1965, I was told there were three doctors to choose from. My husband's mother went to Dr. Means and his dad went to Dr. Maxfield. I chose Dr. Maxfield due to his Spfld. affiliations. He became a big part of our life as he delivered three of my children and helped us through many illnesses and childhood accidents. We will always remember the time he came to the front...

Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your dad. My doctor, my neighbor and my friend, the memories are many and very special.
Sincerely,
Tim

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

I just wanted to let you four kids and your families know that I am remembering you at this time. Your Dad was a wonderful man who tirelessly served the people of Mason City for many years. I know his dedication went way beyond his duty when it came to our family. He was there not only to help heal, but to offer encouragement and support during some very hard times. We all owe him our deepest gratitude for all his help, and I know we remember him fondly. Please know you are all...
