The City of Windsor Heights would like to offer heartfelt condolences to the family of Albert Hunter, former fire chief. Chief Hunter died this morning at the age of 79.
Mr. Hunter was the City's first career fire chief for the Windsor Heights Fire Department and served with distinction and honor for 26 years. In 2004, Chief Hunter retired and was Citizen of the Year. That same year, the City Council voted to rename the street where he lived to Hunter Circle.
During his tenure with the Windsor Heights Fire Department, Chief Hunter dedicated himself to the highest standards of safety, training and emergency services for firefighters and emergency medical technicians. Mr. Hunter was also an integral part of the State of Iowa's Emergency Management Efforts and he served as the first EMS Chief for the State Health Department. Mayor Jerry Sullivan said, "Chief Hunter demonstrated throughout his career that his chief function as a public servant was to serve the interests of all people. He was a terrific leader who contributed greatly to enhancing the quality of life in Windsor Heights. He will be missed." Mr. Hunter was also active in his church, the Windsor Heights Lutheran Church and in the Windsor Heights Lions Club. Chief Hunter is remembered fondly by his colleagues, his fire fighters, his neighbors and his entire community.
