William Maxwell

What a wonderful generous, happy, loving, spirited man. We will always remember his smile and not afraid to live to the fullest.

During my early teen years I didn't have a father or brother to guide me and then, there was Bill. Bill became a big brother to me. He took me fishing and skiing many times. We had long talks about everything and life in general. When i graduated from high school, I had no idea what i wanted to do. Bill talked to me about joining the USAF while i was visiting him at his ANG duty sight. I joined the Air Force and that launched me on a very successful career parh. Bill taught me so much...

Uncle Bill you will surely be missed by many. I will think of you often, those times we had were very special. Your warm heart and soft voice with the firm grip of your hand. I will miss your gentle bear hugs as we say goodbye. Until we meet again. I love you Uncle Bill.....

Dad, You taught me so many things in life...how to tease and be teased, my work ethic, to take chances in life, "you won´t know unless you try". You were so kind, I will miss your hugs and sweet smile! Now it´s my turn to stand at the window and wave good bye...until I see you again. I love you so much! I miss you,

My big brother, the sweetest man I've ever known and my last connection to childhood and growing up in the same household. We enjoyed hours of reminiscing together, wonderful memories of a special era gone by. Love and miss you so much. Barbara

We shared so many lovely conversations, and I always came away with some thoughtful insight and wonderful memories. He was incredibly generous....with his time, his tools and his...

Good bye sweet cousin! Cousin Sandy

Uncle Bill always would give me a teriyaki beef jerky or a hot dog cause he knew I loved them. And he would always smile and ask how are you doing sis. When my parents were gone he would call and check on me I really appriciated that and started looking forward to talking with him as I really missed my dad and especially my mom. I love all my family and its been way too long since we have all got together. I'm on Facebook under Tammi Morgan please check it out get ahold of me please. May...

I always got excited and looked forward to grandpa´s stories he would share with all of us grandchildren. Grandpa had a genuine ability to whisk you away in one of his stories. Each story contained great detail and were full of excitement and humor. Grandpa gave the best hugs. I try to give the same loving perfect hug back to others. He would hold you snug, and hold you firm but didn´t squeeze too hard. Enough to let you know he cared for you greatly and loved you. The silence spoke for...
