TO WISH FORMER COLUMBIA MAYOR BOB COBLE A SPEEDY RECOVERY FROM HIS RECENT HEALTH CHALLENGES.
Whereas, on April 15, 2015, former Columbia Mayor Robert D. "Bob" Coble suffered a health setback at the South Carolina State House that necessitated emergency surgery. Bob Coble's many friends were distressed to hear this news, but they were equally heartened to learn he is now making encouraging progress toward recovery; and
Whereas, to most of his public policy, economic development, and healthcare clients, Bob Coble is still "Mayor Bob" from his twenty years as mayor of the City of Columbia (1990-2010). Presently an attorney with Nexsen Pruet and chair of the law firm's South Carolina Public Policy and Governmental Affairs Group, Bob Coble is a well-beloved figure in his city; and
Whereas, grateful to the State House nurse and "Doctor of the Day," the paramedics, and the medical personnel at Providence Hospital who worked to alleviate Mayor Bob's medical crisis, the House of Representatives wishes to commend these fine healthcare professionals on their swift and diligent treatment; and
Whereas, in addition, the members of the House of Representatives wish to convey to Bob Coble and his family that they, as well as the people of the Midlands and his friends across the Palmetto State, are praying for his complete restoration to good health. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, wish former Mayor Bob Coble a speedy recovery from his recent health challenges.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Bob Coble.
