It’s a sad day at our firm. Ben Jones—better known to millions as Cooter Davenport from *The Dukes of Hazzard*—died yesterday.
Marc worked for Ben when Ben was a congressman, and years later, Ben became one of our clients.
Once, Ben accidentally overpaid an invoice. When we told him and offered to send the money back, he wouldn’t hear of it. Instead, he insisted that we use the money to go to an Atlanta Braves game—and spend it at the stadium to support the team.
That was Ben.
We were lucky to know him, and we’ll miss him. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/10/obituaries/ben-jones-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.4VA.wytv.wQYz_OsRE8tg&smid=url-share
