Washington-- Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R, NC-10) released the following statement on the passing of former Congressman Howard Coble:
"Giulia and I are saddened to learn our dear friend Howard Coble has passed away. Howard was the embodiment of what a Congressman should be: a dedicated public servant who was deeply committed to serving his constituents in North Carolina's 6th District. "Personally, Howard was a dear friend, invaluable mentor, and someone you could always count on for a laugh. I was honored to call him my Dean and Howard embraced that responsibility, serving as a leader to all who have had the honor of representing our great state in Washington. "As we mourn Howard’s passing, Giulia and I send our thoughts and prayers to the people of North Carolina’s 6th District, Howard’s family, and all of Howard’s former staffers who saw firsthand each day what an honorable and decent gentleman he was. My Dean, you will be missed." Last November, Congressman McHenry joined other members of North Carolina's Congressional delegation in celebrating Congressman Coble's service on the House floor.
