Eskimo and I attended First United Presbyterian Church and later I became his 10th grade history teacher at West Charlotte. As time went on, we became friends and fraternity brothers. He will never be forgotten and my heart goes out to the entire Maxwell family. Peace and Blessings!

Richard you will truly be missed. We meet on a plane 20 years ago heading to Atlanta, Ga; he was headed to Morehouse's Homecoming and I was headed to Tuskegee's Homecoming. We instantly became friends and later business partners. Although He is a Que and I am a Kappa, he had that bubbly personality that made you like him. He knew how to enjoy life while he was here om Earth and I am sure he is now resting in peace. I will miss you, my brother.

Richard inspired me to never be afraid to approach, call, meet, and conduct business deals with anyone. No matter their position, social status, celebrity, or affiliation, Richard was never intimidated. Your tenacity lives on. God Bless you and The Maxwell Family ... Mike Jones, DC

We crossed paths only a short while, during our college years at Morehouse, but you left a lifelong impression on all that met you. I wish I'd known you were right here in North Carolina all this time. Rest in peace, my brother.

Eskimo will always be remembered as a fun-loving guy . I saw him for the last in many years this past summer . It was like yesterday . We shared lots of memories from the Coulwood-Ranson days and the West Charlotte-North Meck days. We laughed till we cried . Eskimo you are in a better place than we are - no more worries.

I will always remember that smile and
laugh that was constant as he sat
beside me in Mrs. Strouds third grade
class. We often ran into each other
and a lot to talk about when we were
in Atlanta. God Speed Richard.
I know you will keep the angels

I ran into Eskimo while grocery shopping last year. He was as I had always remembered him, a gentlemen that was the essence of what we as men strived to be. I am honored to have been a classmate of his at West Charlotte. I extend my sincerest condolences to his family at this difficult time.

Eskimo was one of my true and best friends in this life. We would sing and he'd tell jokes that would have you in tears. From elementary to high school Eskimo, Dobie and myself mostly everyday we'd laugh and have the best time. He will truly be missed by all who came to know and love him. May God send his comfort to his Mother and extended family at this time.

Mrs. Maxwell and the Maxwell family,
I last saw Eskimo a few summers ago. It was always a joy to be greeted by him; a genuine, kind and sincere spirit. I will have fond memories of him.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I went to elementary school with Richard and he was one of the nicest guys at school. I later ran into him in Charlotte and we talked for hours. Even though we met at a very early age, he was always special to me. The world was a much better place because he was in it. My prayers for comfort go out to his family.
