The former Texan loved to do crossword puzzles and teased his wife of three years about being a native New Yorker.

They were opposites, she said. "But we blended. He gave me grounding, and I gave him creativity."

In memory....

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

On Oct 19, 2006, 1 mile was ridden to honor the life of Robert J Maxwell. May you and your family know that you will never be forgotten and be in my daily prayers.

May you rest in peace.

I received a Mercy band with Robert J. Maxwell's name on it. Even though I do not know him, I pray that God will bless his soul and continue to guide and protect his family.

I never met Mr. Maxwell; but as a friend and co-worker of Bob's son Tanner, I truly wish I had. Tanner is a great guy, and I from what I hear the apple didn't fall far from the tree. "Tan-man", if I can ever help in any way just let me know.
