                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 30, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Pat Hensley of Council Bluffs, Iowa, on his retirement 
from Hy-Vee food store after 38 dedicated years of service.
  Pat has worked for Hy-Vee since 1979, when he began a part-time job 
at a local store. Early on, Hy-Vee recognized his leadership skills, 
and over the years trusted him in a number of positions, from managing 
stores, overseeing the company's western district, helping to lead the 
government relations department, and finishing his career serving as 
senior vice president, non-foods. Over his 38-year career Pat's goal 
was to ensure, as the commercials said, that there was a helpful smile 
in every aisle, and that Hy-Vee was an enjoyable environment for 
customers and employees alike. Pat is leaving behind a legacy of 
dedication and hard work after decades of service to one of Iowa's 
premier companies.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize Pat today for his outstanding 
career at Hy-Vee. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House 
of Representatives join me in congratulating Pat on this momentous 
occasion and in wishing him and his family nothing but the best in his 
retirement.
