Representative George Maddox was my friend. George, a Decatur native knew everybody. He was a genuine person, cared deeply about the well-being of DeKalb County. He loved his family and his friends. When I think about his life I am reminded of a saying by Dr Martin Luther. "The measure of a man is not what he does in time of comfort and convenience, but what he does in time of conflict and controversy." George labor of love will remain with us for many years.
