turn out he had. It was a honor for you all to remember him. I so wished
that he would of been able to be here for when you all have your reunion in

I had been showing him the web site of the class of 1959. He was so
impressed with all the hard work that has been done. I enjoyed listening to
all of his old stories of the good old days. Please keep us up to date on
the reunion I know my mother would like to attend in his honor when the time
comes.
Again thank you all for your prayers and thoughts during my dad's illness

"Lew" Maddox served as a State Representative for 18 years,
according to long-time friend and associate Rep. Terry Swinger,
D-Caruthersville. Maddox passed away Monday, April 28, 2008, at
Southeast Missouri Hospital at Cape Girardeau, Mo.
"Lew was probably the most positive person I ever met in my life,"
Swinger added. "His mind was always thinking about how to do things
more positively."
Swinger relates a story regarding a conversation he had with
Maddox's wife, Becky. "I said to her [Becky] one time," Swinger
said, "How does he always have such a positive attitude? I would
like to be able to be that way."
She replied, if he happened to wake up in a bad mood he might later
get a telephone call. When he would answer and be asked how he was
doing, he'd always describe how good he was doing that day. Then he
would get up and get dressed and leave for the day with his positive
attitude.
Retired judge and long-time Kennett resident Flake McHaney described
Maddox has having "served his area well and making a positive
contribution to his district."
Long-time friend and associate and former state representative Vic
Downing, who had been friends with Maddox for 40 years, he said,
said, "I always thought a lot of Lew. He and I served together in
the legislature and, I think, voted just alike most of the time
because we had very similar districts." Downing added, "We'll really
miss him."
Swinger said he and Maddox were really good friends for more than 20
years, "and he is a big reason why I'm here [in the state
legislature]. He used to tell me that he thought his job in the
legislature was to make sure no bad legislation every passed."
Maddox was educated in the Gideon elementary and high schools and
lived in Clarkton, Mo. While serving in the legislature, Maddox was
the chairman of the Legislative Research Committee, vice chairman of
the Commerce Committee, and served on the Agri-Business and State
Institutions and Property committees, according to the Official
Manual of the State of Missouri.
He was born March 25, 1924, in Houston, Texas, son of the late
Luther Eagle and Orpha Jane Lawson Maddox. He was a farmer and
founded Maco Construction. He was elected to the Missouri State
House of Representatives in 1970, where he served for 18 years.
He was an elder at the First Presbyterian Church in Clarkton, and
was a member of the Shrine Club and served as director of various
organizations and boards.
On July 3, 1953, in Los Angeles, Calif., he married Rebecca Irene
James, who survives.
Survivors also
include his children, Jeanne Maree Bailey and husband, Phillip, of
Hot Springs, Ark., John Warren Maddox and wife, Candi, of Malden,
Mo., James Kendall Maddox and wife, Francis, of Clarkton and LuAnn
Jeffries and husband, Jerry, of Naylor, Mo; one sister, Alene
Gillean, of Fosk, Mo.; one brother, Chad Maddox, of Essex, Mo.; a
sister-in-law, Helen Maddox, of San Diego, Calif.; nine
grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

see it. Although he wasn't interested in learning any new technology he was
always amazed at what could be done with a computer. Wonder what he would

very limited with most of the how to's of this silly machine) but glad to
know how to keep in touch with everybody.
Connie and I are ok
with his passing. He had a long and happy life with very little sickness or
pain. The best time of his life was the years he spent in the Snack Bar with
all the kids that passed through. EVERY time he visited we always talked
about those days and what great times they were. Thanks to all of you
