Phil Maynard, Hoban Class of 1960, was memorialized at the Catholic Charities–Diocese of Cleveland Hall of Hope Induction Luncheon on Oct. 14.

HALL OF HOPE INDUCTION BIOGRAPHY

“Phil” Maynard made the world a better place. His dedication to faith, family and to those in need left a legacy that will last forever. His work ethic, combined with a humble and generous heart is the example we all should emulate.

Phil attended St. Francis de Sales Parish School and Archbishop Hoban High School. After leaving Kent State University to enter military service in Japan, he returned home with his new bride Takako and started working a temporary job at Akron Storage and Warehouse while finishing his degree and starting a family. He moved up the ladder quickly, eventually becoming assistant to the president.

Phil purchased his own company, Snyder Distribution Centers, Inc., which he renamed Akron Storage and Warehouse (ASW) in 1983.

After a long career, Phil retired from business in 2007 after the sale and merger of ASW Properties, Ltd. to former Cleveland Indian André Thornton.

Phil’s success in business was undeniable. His devotion to faith, family and charitable causes was nothing short of inspirational.

Akron Community Foundation President and CEO John Petures Jr. said Maynard’s giving touched many lives.

“He was an honest and generous man, in his faith, integrity and character,” Petures said. “He was a believer in the saying that ‘To those that much is given, much is expected,’ and I think that was rooted in his faith. He was a friend to so many.”

The Maynard Family Center for Spiritual Formation at Hoban opened in 2014. The Center includes a chapel as its centerpiece, offices and an area for campus ministry activities. Its focus is to develop a desire in students to serve others and to impact the world in a positive way.

Phil detailed his vision for the Center at the groundbreaking in March 2014.

“We wanted to do something that goes beyond a chapel. Something that is dedicated to the spiritual growth of all Hoban students because spiritual development is essential in the Holy Cross tradition. Holy Cross values emphasize developing the mind, body and soul. The spiritual formation center will be a place where students can worship God and focus on their faith and spiritual growth.”

Phil’s commitment to philanthropy will live for generations to come in the Catholic community as well as the Greater Akron Area. He lived the Gospel every day, making family and the wellbeing of others his priorities. The awards he received were deserved, but the real honor was bestowed on those who knew him and experienced his kindness, humble nature and social conscience. He was one of a kind and we all should strive to be more like him.
