It's been a tough year for the City of Hamilton. The city's project manager, Michael Gurr, passed away unexpectedly Thursday. He was only 48. This comes on the heels of Economic Development Director Jody Gunderson passing away back in November. During his time with the city, Gurr was involved in major projects, including efforts to bring an AMTRAK stop to the city and the placement of EV charging stations around the city. He also oversaw flood and sewage mitigation efforts in Highland Park. Gurr was a Hamilton High School Athletic Hall of Famer (Class of 2013) who went on to play college football for the Ohio State Buckeyes. He was an offensive lineman during the 1997-2000 seasons under the leadership of Head Coach John Cooper. Gurr scored the only touchdown for Ohio State in their 24-7 loss to South Carolina in the 2001 Outback Bowl. Visitation is from 4pm-8pm Wednesday, May 13th at Charles C. Young Funeral Home in Ross. Mass of Christian Burial is Thursday 10:30am at Sacred Heart Church in Fairfield.
