Steve was a great leader in our class and did lots of interesting things for our classmates.

I send condolences to the family of Steve Maxwell, especially wife Kay Maxwell, a leader of the League of Women Voters of the U.S. -- from Donna Bening, LWVPlano/Collin County Texas.

Dear Kay: The members of the Buffalo Niagara League of Women Voters send their condolences to you and your family on the loss of your husband, Steve.

Dear Kay: My deepest sympathy in the lost of Steve. I was in Vermont at a conference when I received word and unfortunately I was unable to attend his memorial service. I'll always remember his challenging the answer at this year's World Quest involving the 'heir and a spare' as he was leaving the event. Peace be with you and your family at this time.

Dear Kay, I am so sorry to learn of your husband's death. I will be thinking of you.

Kay,
I am so sorry to learn this news about Steve. I know you will miss him terribly, but I also know you will handle this with grace.

Dear Kay
I am shocked to read the news about Steve. We only met one evening, you know when, and I quickly realized that he was an extraordinary man! As I read about his life, I am not surprised to learn about his accomplishments, kindness and joy he brought to many.
When someone dear is taken away from us so unexpectedly, we are only left with memories. The good thing about memories is that they will stay with us forever and help us overcome the sadness. I wish you strength during these difficult times.

I was so shocked to read about Steve's sudden passing. He was always so positive, upbeat and fun. I have many fond memories of him from Ft. Lauderdale High School and the reunions after graduation. I know you have many wonderful lifetime memories which will help you through this difficult time. My thoughts and deepest sympathy to you and John.
Liz (VanAradall) Karl, FLHS class of '57

Dear Kay, I was so sorry to hear about Steve. He was one heck of a guy. Full of witt and fun. He was such an asset to our class of '57. I am so sorry for your loss.

Kay...When I retired from TLB I missed Steve's steady, confident, smiling support the most. His calm approach, caustic remarks, and wry smile made each day a pleasure rather than work.
He was a colleague, friend and more often my mentor rather than me his.
I'll truly miss him. Love, Jack

Kay and John - my deepest condolonces on your loss of Steve. It's just so hard to imagine. I remember him so well as a friend to my parents and great tennis player also. We will have you in our thoughts and prayers at this time. He and my brother John will be looking down on all of us and taking care of us.

My heart was saddened to hear about Steve's passing. Steve was a classmate and always both in school and at our reunions made you glad that you knew him. You have a heart full of memories, precious and true...open them anywhere...they are yours forever. Feel loved and thought about by many...because you are. Judy Bohannon, Arlington, Texas

Steve: The GOBS will certainly miss you on the courts. Your old neighbor will also miss you.

Dear Mrs. Ferguson,

You do not know me and I did not know Steve. However, I was saddened by his death as he passed while in my arms on the tennis court at Belle Haven. I had the opportunity to read his obituary and it is quite apparent that he was a man that loved tennis, people and giving back to his community. It is without question that we will be missed by his family and by the many he helped educate.

With deepest regards,

Joe Panaro

Steve did his class proud, in business, teaching, and most importanatly, life. He will be missed.

My condolences to the Steve Maxwell family,it's obvious that Steve lived life to the fullest,seizing only those important opportunities that enrich one's existance.

Boa Voyagem and God Bless

Cannot ever remember Steve when he wasn't smiling. We will all miss his uplifting spirit. (Class of '57.)

Steve was one of the nicest persons I have ever known. We had such fun in high school. I know you will miss him and his sense of humor! He certainly did have a great sense of timing!

I was so surprised to hear of Steve's passing. Our Class of 57 of Ft. Lauderdale High School is in mourning. He was was always so uplifting during our reunions with his candid remarks during all of our different events. I also had the privilege of playing tennis with Steve at our reunion, which was both competative and fun. Like him, tennis is also one of my loves of life. We'll miss him dearly. Our deepest sympathy to you Kay, and your family. Janet Stone Hutchinson

Kay, I was shocked, sad, and so sorry to hear about Steve. I know how difficult it is when the person you love seems to just disappear in an instant. I'm sure he will be missed by all who knew him.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Kay and Family,
Sometimes full lives end as they are lived, with gusto. This sounds like such a case. Please accept our sympathy and good wishes as you celebrate a life well lived.

Kay,
So sorry to hear about Steve. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was a classmate of Steve's and enjoyed all his accomplishments in high school. I had no idea how successful he had been after that. He will be missed. My thoughts are with you, Kay and the rest of the family.
Joy Melfi Peeler

Kay and John, we have many fond memories of Steve on and off the tennis court at LVCC. We wish we had seen more of him and you in the last few years. From our current perspective, Steve was way too young to go! You are in our thoughts and have our deepest sympathy.

You will be missed, Uncle Steve! We will miss receiving your Christmas letter every year. Love to Aunt Kay and John.

Dear Kay, I have just finished reading the notice in the Greenwich paper. I did not know Steve well but my goodness, what an accomplished and grand fellow he was.
He leaves behind many fine memories for his family. My sincere sympathy to you. Ann Ferris

To Steve's Family - may Steve enjoy many - "forty-love" tennis matches looking over all of the many friends he made in high school and in life. Voted Most Dependalbe of our class was a perfect choice - Steve will be missed that is for sure in life and at the FLHS Class Reunions.
