Bob Maxon is a well-known journalist and TV host in the United States. His birth date is July 12, 1965, and he was born in Oswego, New York. He has a Bachelor of Science in meteorology from Cornell University. In 1977, Bob started his career in television as a reporter and anchor at WMTW-TV in Portland, Maine. He later became a meteorologist and morning news co-anchor for WTNH-TV in New Haven, Connecticut.
BobMaxon began his career as a morning news anchor in 1994 at NBC Connecticut, a television station in Hartford, Connecticut that is owned by the NBC network. His warm and approachable personality on broadcast complemented his skill as a weatherman. He was well-lauded for his ability to accurately predict the weather. The Associated Press of Connecticut has honored him with the title of “Best Weathercaster” on many occasions (2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2012). In addition, Hartford Magazine has honored him as the best weather forecaster for a decade running.
Bob was active in several Connecticut-based nonprofits outside of his journalistic profession. He has always been an advocate for the March of Dimes’ mission to better the health of pregnant women and infants. He was a member of the board of directors of Connecticut Children’s Hospital Center and volunteered for the Muscular Dystrophy Organization. He left NBC Connecticut in 2020 after more than 25 years. Colleagues and admirers alike celebrated his retirement by paying respect to his kindness, humor, and commitment to his craft.
On March 21, 2017, NBC Connecticut meteorologist Bob Maxon experienced a small heart attack, but he is doing fine now, according to an on-air announcement made on Monday morning. Bob Maxon told The Courant in a phone conversation on Monday that he has been at his house in Simsbury since he was released from St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford on Thursday afternoon.
Bob claimed he felt ill after going out to eat with his daughter on Monday night. I ate some baked things fishy. What he stated didn’t quite make sense. His better half and eldest child were on a college tour. Paying for education “may have been one of the causes for all the stress,” he said.
Maxon claimed he woke up feeling strange on Tuesday. Do I have indigestion? I pondered. I had arrived at the office and was going about my usual routine. He said, “I made it through the concerts.” “I was nauseous and my joints hurt. After arriving in Avon, Maxon went to the Hartford HealthCare Urgent Care facility there. A nurse checked his vitals and spoke with him. He was then given five infant aspirins. Ten minutes later, he was being loaded onto a trolley and into an ambulance, he added.
St. Francis Hospital is where he was brought. “I just had that device inserted up my thigh; it was an angiography. They discovered little damage and an insignificant obstruction, he added. Nothing invasive was done; no bypass, no ballooning. Medication and physical activity from here on out.” The lesson Bob has learned is that “people can’t disregard their genetic nature,” he added.
Heart attacks have run in my family for many years and generations. At the age of 50, he had one. At age 54, my brother had a triple bypass. Heart problems ran in both sets of grandparents’ families. You can’t escape your own DNA,” he added. “Smoking was a significant influence in that, and I’m not a smoker.
I can go out and do things like ride my bike for hours or run a 5K for charity, but I have no control over my own mind. Your DNA is completely unique to you. Bob Maxon’s Facebook page had almost a thousand expressions of support by Monday afternoon. In his message, he said that he will return “when the weather becomes springlike or when the doctor says I can come back.”
