Mr. Jim Mattox

I first met James Albon Mattox in 1988 at the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, Georgia. I went to work for him at the OAG a few months later as the first Ombudsman ever in State government. All state employees are "at will" employees, meaning an employee can be terminated for any reason as long as the termination does not violate any state or federal law. Mattox said to me, one on one, " I want my employees to have a due process and you are it. Investigate grievances and complaints...

Thinking of you and that old Ford truck that your father used to own. I was amazed that a man of your stature was still driving it! I still have your campaign sign from your Senate run hanging in my shop. Miss you

My sympathy to all the Maddox Family. Jim Maddox was a public servant for all the people, not just the few .
Thanks Jim and rest in Peace

As a college student on a Washington semester in 1978 I was an intern in Jim Mattox's office. I went in distrustful of authority (a product of my times!), but came out knowing the "People's Lawyer" was the real deal. The university where I now work has a motto: "The measure of a life is its service." In that respect, Jim was a giant among men.

Gold Bless Jim Mattax, cause he sure blessed us . . .

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Mr. Mattox helped me many years ago and I never will forget how kind he was. May God's presence be with your family.
