Mr Dan Maddox Sr, age 87, of Stone Mountain Georgia passed away on May 30, 2018, of cardiac arrest after complications from a fall in his home. “GP” as his family called him was born in Evansville, Indiana to Susan Marie Egloff Maddox and Maitland Mahood Maddox. His father Maitland worked for the L&N railroad during the depression; this was a strong influence on GP as he loved trains and collecting railroad memorabilia throughout his entire life.
He married Joann Marie Zeller in 1952. Together they had 4 children over the next 8 years. His beloved wife of 55 years, pre-deceased him in 2006 and he was never the same. He wrote shortly after her death, to his only daughter, Rebecca Joan Maddox, of Naples Florida, “I will never get over your mother’s death.” And he didn’t. During her battle with stage 4 cancer, he was at her bedside everyday, all day, never wavering in his commitment and love.
GP served in the United States Army Reserve Corps from 1956-1957.
