Dad i know how you always looked at the obituaries, hope you can read this one. There where so many things I wanted to say but you left so fast and I didn't have the courage to. Thank you for trying to teach me to be a better person, to my wife, my daughter and myself. I wish I wasn't so stubborn and actually listened instaded of hearing what I wanted and ignoring the rest. You and I are probably more alike then what we'd both wanted, but we all fight demons. I hope as time goes it gets easier, but for now I will get up,put my big boy pants on, and try to live life like you wanted and expected of my. I just wish I told you and showed you what you ment to me. Miss you and love you very much. (Hardman) aka Brett

We sure had us some good time's at the Indigo club. It's so sad how friends just go there separate ways may be out of sight but never out of mind. My sympathy's to all the Maxwell's. I'm always here at Grove Market and would love to see you all. Tom come see us we truly miss you.
May his memory be eternal.

Dear Brett, Tiffany and Alexa as well as the rest of the Maxwell family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great guy and we were honored to have known him the last 10 1/2 yrs.
We felt blessed that our daughter had a wonderful and supportive father-in-law.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with you as you go forward. We pray that you will find peace in the knowledge that Bob loved you all and that he is at peace.
He will never be to far away because he will be in your hearts forever.
Much Love,
Les and Floyce

So sorry to read of Bob's passing. Another Maxwell cousin gone. I bet Aunt Cylesta is planning a cousins party on the other side like she did here when we were young.

THanks Bob!
Thanks for 18 years of living next to the best neighbor in the world. Thanks for the talks through the fence, tool loans, tolerance, garden vegetables, irrigation, and mostly the offered wisdom. You will be forever imprinted in our memories.
Sincerely,
