I had the honor of getting to know Mr. Maxwell in 1994. He was good man and will truly be missed. He is surely in Heaven. To his family my deepest sympathy.

Margo,
I am saddened by your loss. I remember the first time you brought Clark to meet me; he lit up the room with his smile and genuine friendliness.
Don and I are both praying for you to have strength during this hard time. I will call you.
Peace, my friend,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of those he loved and who loved him. There are many Pi Kappa Alpha Brothers from Florida Southern College that share the same thoughts. I was in the same Pike pledge class in 1952 with Clark. We were later initiated together. I remember him as one who always had a smile for all and never said a bad thing about anyone. It is so good to see that he structured his life on principals he vowed to uphold as a Pi Kappa Alpha Brother.
ppka, Clark

Clark was a good and honorable man...and he was my friend. He never broke his word; it was his absolute bond. What a powerful legacy! This man will be missed but his time among us will not be forgotten.

Clark was a true leader and public servant, following in the footsteps of his father. He left lasting and positive marks on Brevard County and the whole state through his service on the Brevard County School Board, in the Florida House and Senate, and as the first head of Florida's Board of Community Colleges. He had an infectous smile, a strong will, and an abiding belief in what was right. His grasp of numbers and the impact of appropriations and taxes was one rarely matched. He will truly be missed by his family and all who knew him. Our love and prayers to all of his family. Sincerely, Jerry and Dixie

What can I say... My grandpa was an amazing man! He accomplished so much in his lifetime. As a grandpa he taught me to love fishing, searching for sand dollars, going fast in his boat "grandpa make white water". nicknames, playing funny games and tricks. Most of all I remember and admire his passion for improving lives of others. He was the most caring, dedicated, hard working man you could meet! He will be missed!
