H.R. No. 829 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Lieutenant Dennis Stanek of the West University | ||
Place Fire Department is marking his 40th anniversary with the | ||
department in the summer of 2013; and | ||
WHEREAS, A lifelong resident of West U, Lieutenant Stanek | ||
joined the department when he was just 19 and was promoted to | ||
lieutenant two years later; he became one of the city's first | ||
paramedics and helped build its first ambulances out of converted | ||
vans; and | ||
WHEREAS, Lieutenant Stanek has played an instrumental role in | ||
the department's transition from a primarily reactive organization | ||
to an agency that works proactively to avert catastrophe through | ||
code enforcement and education; devoted to assisting his fellow | ||
citizens, he considers his profession a calling rather than a job | ||
and likes to claim that he has never worked a day in his life because | ||
he's doing what he enjoys most; and | ||
WHEREAS, In addition to his service to the fire department, | ||
Lieutenant Stanek runs Stanek Painting and Specialty Finishes, a | ||
contracting business that he started as a high school student; he | ||
keeps fit in his free time as an avid outdoorsman, and he has surfed | ||
in Hawaii, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and other places around the | ||
world; in all his endeavors, he enjoys the love and support of his | ||
wife, Kim, and his daughters, Jordyn and Sydney; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dennis Stanek has served residents of West U with | ||
tremendous skill, professionalism, and enthusiasm for four | ||
decades, earning their profound respect and appreciation, and it is | ||
indeed a pleasure to recognize this esteemed Texan for his | ||
contributions; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend Lieutenant Dennis Stanek for his 40 | ||
years of service to the West University Place Fire Department and | ||
extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Lieutenant Stanek as an expression of high regard by | ||
the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
