“Mr. SPEAKER, I rise today to pay tribute to my dear friend, mentor and former colleague, Congressman Howard Coble.
 
Howard was a proud son of Greensboro who for 30 years served the people of North Carolina's Sixth District with honor, integrity and kindness. 
 
While he’s no longer with us, we’ll always remember Howard fondly. We miss his unique style - including madras jackets, colorful suspenders, and distinctive hats - his humble sense of humor, and his personality that drew people to him.

As a matter of fact, Howard never met a stranger and set a standard for legendary constituent service. His constituents knew they had a friend in Congressman Coble. I work every day to live up to that example.
 
Howard’s 85th birthday would have been tomorrow, and I want to ask my colleagues and my fellow North Carolinians to join me in celebrating his remarkable life.
 
It was a privilege to get to know Howard Coble, to call him a friend, and to continue his legacy of service to the people of North Carolina.
 
I know there will be no shortage of celebration in Heaven. Happy birthday Congressman Coble!”
