Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise to memorialize the life of Dr. John Noble, Jr., an accomplished doctor, community leader, and friend.
Dr. Noble led a remarkable career as an orthopaedic surgeon. He earned his undergraduate degree at McNeese State University and his Medical Degree from LSU Medical
School in New Orleans, where he also completed his residency. Dr. Noble completed a Fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, before returning home to Southwest Louisiana. There he spent more than three decades in practice, serving countless patients and helping to develop innovative treatments for hip and knee replacements.
Throughout his career, Dr. Noble was committed to advancing the concerns of other physicians and his patients. He served as the President of the Louisiana State Medical Society and the Louisiana Orthopaedic Association, organizations that advocate on current healthcare issues and policy reforms.

Not only was he the team physician for McNeese Athletics, but he gave back to the McNeese community with his time and resources. And he represented Southwest Louisiana as a member of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors.

accomplishment on many levels, yet nothing surpassed his love for his family. John cherished his beautiful wife, Cinda, and I was in awe of his dedication and love for his daughter, Madeline, and his son, John Wallace. After a courageous battle with cancer, Dr. Noble has gone home to be with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Dr. Noble lived a life worth celebrating. He was a man of integrity, extraordinary talent, and distinguished accomplishment. May that legacy and the memory of his life endure. It is in that spirit that I deliver these remarks on this day. To memorialize the life of a dear friend and a great man, Dr. John Noble, Jr.
May God bless Dr. Noble and his family.
