My condolences. Can you tell me if your father was related to an Edward Maxwell of Kirkland Lake or to Edward's daughter Lee Maxwell of Kirkland Lake. Am doing some genealogy research re Maxwell's of Kirkland Lake in the period before and during WW2. Thanks in advance.

Dear Dad,
Robert and I went to the Yizkor Service at Temple Menorah and I remembered when you dropped myself, David and Cheryle off for Roshashana and you backed up and hit Rabbi Ungers' wife's car. That is what you got for never attending service with us. I guess I am the only one who remembers that. We said the Mourner's Kaddish and the following prayer for your memory.
May G-d remember the soul of my father who has gone to his eternal home. In loving testimony to his life I will perform acts to help perpetuate ideals important to him. Through such deeds and memories, is his soul bound up in the bond of life. May these moments of meditation link me more strongly with his memory and our entire family. May he rest eternally in dignity and peace.
We miss you.

Dear Karen, Jeff, Cheryl and to all that loved Jack,
I am sorry for the circumstances that brought me to your dad, but in a short time I took care of him, I was able to get a sense of who he was. I really enjoyed hearing his life stores, his sense of humor, and always wanting his neck and back scratched, along with his feet rubbed.
When I would make him a meal he would always ask if I would join him. Those were the times he would share his stories and other times we would watch the old movies.
I send gentle hugs to all of you.

I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH MY 30+ YEARS OF MEMORIES OF JACK. HE HAS ALWAYS TREATED ME LIKE I WAS PART OF HIS FAMILY EVEN WHEN I WAS HIS EMPLOYEE!
HE WAS AN INTELLIGENT PERSON AND WAS QUITE THE PHILOSOPHER. HE ALWAYS GAVE ME ADVICE AND GUIDANCE AS HE DID TO HIS OTHER CHILDREN AND I TRULY DID APPRECIATE IT. WHEN I GOT MARRIED AND HAD MY CHILDREN, HE ALSO EMBRACED THEM AS PART OF HIS FAMILY. WE WILL EACH HAVE OUR SPECIAL MEMORY OF HIM. WE WILL TRULY MISS HIM. IN LATER YEARS HE HAD TOLD ME THAT HE ENJOYED TALKING WITH ME BECAUSE I WAS A GOOD LISTENER AND I DIDN'T JUDGE HIM AND I COULD UNDERSTAND HIM. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT!! AND I KNOW THAT I WILL LOOK OVER AT THE SEAT NEXT TO ME AND SAY, "WHERE'S JACK"
AND GUESS WHAT? I DON'T THINK THE PERSON WHO WILL SIT THERE NEXT WILL BE ABLE TO FILL THAT POSITION. LOTS OF LOVE ALWAYS.YOU WILL BE TRULLY MISSED xxx000xxx

Though I will never have the chance to meet you Jack on this earth. I can say you truly were amazing and so very blessed. I can spiritually feel the love that was shared. If I may share these words of comfort to the Maxwell Family, which were shared with me in my time of lost: Your husband and father Jack has been called back to "Our Heavenly Father" because his job and time here has been gratefully blessed & fulfilled. Now God needs Jack and he is forever at peace. Jack I pray for your loving wife June and all your loving children, and your children's, children's and so on. My heart goes out to each and every one of you, God be with you all. In Jesus name Amen. Who in sprit is apart of God, like Jack is apart of each and every one of you Amen. He is still the same God no matter what. Lots of love, many blessings, and prayers.

I'm grateful for the time we had to spend with Jack. He was one of a kind, and he is truly missed.
A little bit of Jack lives within all the Maxwell clan, and for that you can all be proud.
Good bye dear father-in-law. Until we meet again.

Good-bye Uncle Jack,
Thank you so much for the hospitality and generosity that you always showed me on my many visits to California, especially the condo in Palm Springs. The love you had for Aunt June and all of your children and grandchildren, was evident in the many stories you shared about all of their endeavours.
You truly were a "Jack of all trades". May you rest in peace, knowing that your legacy will live on in the hearts and memories of all the good times shared with your many loved ones.
Love your niece, Janice

Dear June and family,
We are very sorry to hear about your loss. Jack was very special to you and so many people. We have known you and Jack for over 30 years and you have been our California parents the entire time. We are thankful you and Jack were a part of our life. We will miss him, but he will not be forgotten. His great voice, his smile and his way of telling a story was always special - and he told it like it was happening as he spoke. Jack always made me feel important and that I was always welcome whatever the circumstances. We use to talk about selling and how he use to sell just about everything - I learned a lot from him and we had a lot of fun and laughs telling stories to one another.
We will miss him and he will be remembered as a special person and friend.
God bless you and your family – our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We have had Jack and June as our neighbors for the past 10 years and our deepest regards and sympathies go out to June and her family. Jack's kindness and company will be missed. He made all of us feel fortunate to be in his company and we were all entertained by him. Listening to his stories and sharing his families life with us has left a lasting impression that will never be replaced. He was kind and generous to all of us and the Casa Canyon community will not be same without him. We are here for you June and our deepest sympathies go out to all of the Maxwell's we have come to know through Jack.

Good bye Uncle Jack, You are in
a peaceful place now. The memories of you will live on in the hearts of us all. 22 years ago you and Aunt
June took me under your wings when
I moved to California. You thought
enough of me to always call me "son"
an endearment that meant alot to me.
Until we meet again,
love your nephew, paul

Since you lived with me the past 6 months it's been hard to watch you pass from this world into the next. I am finding it hard to believe I will never speak to you ever again. Death is so final .I still say goodnight to you as I pass your room and I can smell your cologne. Good Bye Dad and thank you for caring so much about your family. I will love you always.......Jeff

Dear Jack,
You were like a father to me . You would right me when I was wrong and I would right you when I was right . You took me into the family and I 've never been able to escape!!! I learned to love your stories and would listen with patience at the repeats and smile as if it were the first time out. I will never forget you and I'll miss you everyday of my life. I will always hold you in my heart. As Shakespeare so eloquently put it "good-night sweet Prince".

It has been an honour to know Jack during his years in Dorset, Ontario. I first met him on a plane travelling from L.A. to Toronto in 1980 - where we both discovered, we were heading to the same place .... beautiful Kawagama Lake. He was happiest telling stories to all who would listen and was a true character in his own right! You will be missed Jack but certainly not forgotten!
