 RECOGNIZING THE RETIREMENT AND SERVICE OF MAYOR ADDISON LARRY HARTWIG

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PETER J. ROSKAM

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 9, 2013

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a dedicated public 
servant from the Sixth Congressional District of Illinois, Mayor Larry 
Hartwig of Addison. In May, he will conclude his loyal service as Mayor 
after four terms.
   As a resident of the Village of Addison for over 40 years, Mr. 
Hartwig has served as a model citizen. He first entered public office 
in 1987 as Village Trustee, and in 1995, he was appointed Interim Mayor 
of Addison where he was elected thereafter.
   During his tenure as Mayor, Mr. Hartwig has been an exemplary leader 
and public servant. After retiring as Principal of Wood Dale Junior 
High School, he devoted more time to other areas of service, including 
the DuPage Water Commission and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus. His 
noble leadership led him to serve as President of the DuPage Mayors and 
Managers Conference and as Chairman of the Conference's Legislative 
Committee.
   Mayor Hartwig has represented his community well and has been a 
strong voice for the Village of Addison throughout his time in office. 
His long service to the people of Addison and to DuPage County is truly 
commendable. Although retiring as Mayor, Addison will continue to 
benefit from his involvement as a member of the community.
   Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
congratulating Mayor Hartwig on 26 years of public service and in 
wishing him all the best for the days ahead.

                          ____________________
