FILE - In this Jan. 28, 2009 file photo, then Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Tommy Irvin works at his desk in Atlanta. Irvin, whose four decades in office made him one of the longest-serving statewide officials in U.S., died at the age of 88, the department he once ran confirmed Friday, Sept. 15, 2017. First appointed as state agriculture head in 1969 by then-Gov. Lester Maddox, Irvin went on to win 10 consecutive elections before deciding to retire in 2011 because of age and health reasons.
