  Mr. HOLDING. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the life of Alfred 
Llewellyn Hobgood III.
  Hobgood spent his entire life in North Carolina. He was a successful 
businessman, a fixture in the community and above all, a loving husband 
and father of two.
  Alfred Hobgood was born on December 3, 1946 in Kinston, North 
Carolina to Alfred Llewellyn Hobgood, Jr. and Suefan Gooding Hobgood.
  He was raised in Smithfield and attended Darlington High School 
before attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His 
time at UNC was formative to his life and the lessons he learned set 
him up for a successful career in the business world.
  After leaving UNC, he began his career under the arms of Jim Wheat of 
Wheat First Securities.
  Then he went to Scott and Stringfellow in Eastern North Carolina. 
After that, he went on to work for RBC Wealth Management, where he 
served as Senior Vice President.
  Alfred was a passionate UNC fan and an active alumnus, serving as an 
officer on several boards, including as president of the Co-Founders 
Club and chairman of the Excellence Fund.
  Alfred was also an avid golfer. He was a founding board member of Old 
Chatham Golf Club and a board member of The Rex Hospital Open. And he 
passionately supported the First Tee of the Triangle as a past 
Director.
  His weight as a member of the community was felt all over North 
Carolina as he supported the Parrot Academy of Kinston, the LMH 
Foundation, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, St. Mary's 
School in Raleigh, Rex Hospital, and many other charitable causes.
  Sadly, Madam Speaker, Alfred Llewellyn Hobgood III passed away on 
October 6, 2019 at the age of 72. He will be greatly missed by his 
family, friends, and the entire community.
