Victor Maxwell

Greetings from the great beyond! Victor Maxwell here, just popping in to let you know that I've gone on to my eternal reward. As Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die." And now, it seems, it's my time.
I was born on October 2, 1939, in Lindley, NY, to Walter and Victoria Maxwell. I spent most of my life in Corning, NY, where I made my home with my beautiful wife, Betty. We were married on February 19, 1972, and together we raised our three wonderful children, Ronald, Michael and Elizabeth. I was blessed with a loving, funny, loyal, and witty family. I was the first student enrolled in Corning Community College and later was always proud of my involvement in the Corning Christian Academy. During the 1960s, I enjoyed being an announcer for the Woodhull Raceway and in the 70's I was active in the Gideons and the prison ministry. Then I spent over 35 years working at Corning Building Company, most recently in the position of outside sales coordinator, where I loved my work family almost as much as my own. In my free time, I enjoyed working on projects in my shop. I also treasured time with my family: trips with Betty and cruises with brother-in-law Harry and wife, Judy; pier fishing trips with my brother-in-law Don and wife, Lori; cooking with my daughter; doing construction projects with my sons, and spending time with my amazing grandchildren; all of whom I am very proud.
My faith was important to me, and I served for many years as a trustee at Victory Highway Wesleyan Church. I loved my Victory family and enjoyed working alongside them throughout the years. I was honored to help the church in any way I could. In the words of Matthew 25:23, the Lord said, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord."
As I embark on this new adventure, I leave behind my loving wife Betty; son, Ronald and his wife Aurie with their six children, Ian, Abigail, Andrew, James, Peter and Rachel; son, Michael and his wife, Kim and daughter, Sylvia; and daughter, Elizabeth. I am preceded in death by my parents, Walter and Victoria Maxwell and brother, Walter Jr.
Please share your memories and upload photos of our time together to my memorial page. I look forward to seeing all the love and laughter we shared. Until we meet again, my friends!
