“I thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Weber) for yielding and for organizing this tribute to my dear friend, Louie Gohmert. We will miss you in this Chamber, but I have nothing but great memories of Louie. You expressed so many prayers for me in tough times, but also, the things you would do, and I see on the poster the ribs because that is what I think of when Louie Gohmert would offer to the Members to cook ribs for them at the end of a long night. We have gotten into a lot of heady debates here. We sometimes spar with each other. At the end of that battle to bring people together and say, you know what, we are going to eat some ribs--and, by the way, they are really, really good. He has never given the recipe.”
