hard working that he

during his career.

tremendous asset to the
City of Euless," said Hennig.
Hennig, 59, has served as the city's manager since 1999, after serving Euless as Director of Development Services, Assistant City Manager and Deputy City Manager. Hennig has worked for the city since 1992 after retiring from 23 years with TXU.

When asked his feelings on retiring after so many years, Hennig commented, "The citizens of Euless make our great city what it is today. There are many founding families that have been here since the beginning and they are the ones still volunteering at events, attending City Council meetings and making things happen. They donate their time and energy to Euless because they love it."
