Richard B. Maxwell Jr. was born in Philadelphia, PA on September 1,1938 to Richard B. Maxwell Sr. and Elva May Maxwell. Richard is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Robert and his first born son Richard B. Maxwell III.
Richard was educated in the Northeast Philadelphia school district until he graduated from High School in 1956. After high school, Richard served in the U.S. Navy on the USS Intrepid where he excelled in his trade of printing. His charismatic nature and entrepreneurial drive resulted in Richard starting his own company, Maxwell Graphic Arts, based in Gibbsboro in 1971 until he retired in 2000.
After retirement, if anyone was ever looking for Richard, he could always be found on a plane, train or automobile as well as any cruise line or riverboat with his beloved wife Geraldine. Because of his love for travel Richard was always on the go and never in one place for too long. Richard’s favorite hobbies were skiing in the green mountains of Vermont, chartering his fishing boat off the Jersey shore or hiking out West. Richard was an active golfer as well. Just 4 months ago he was on the course with his family.
Richard is survived by his wife, Geraldine Jaeger and his children; John Conrad Maxwell and Tami Fegley along with her spouse Andrew Fegley, his stepchildren, John Jaeger and Robert Jaeger along with their spouses Jennifer Jaeger and Tracy Jaeger. Richard was the proud grandfather of Jacob, Jasmine, John, Alexis, Connor, Aidan, Mara, Kira, and Luca. He also recently became a great-grandfather to the latest addition of his family, Scarlett May Maxwell.
