Funeral services are Tuesday for Hamilton Economic Development Director Jody Gunderson, who died suddenly Thursday at the age of 59. Gunderson's death left city leaders stunned, just hours after they saw Gunderson at Wednesday's city council meeting. "This is devastating, absolutely devastating news" said council member Michael Ryan, "my heart goes out to Jody's family." Ryan continued "he was absolutely instrumental in Hamilton's revitalization because of his intellegence, his philosophy on economic development, and his expertise on economic development." During his 14 years with the city, Gunderson's projects have brought thousands of jobs to the area, and have retained many more. Visitation will take place 4pm-6pm at Weigel Funeral Home, 980 NW Washington Boulevard. Services will follow at 6:00pm.
