Jelly Bread underneath the table, orange pop, and HEY HEY GOOD LOOKIN was your song.
I still miss you as much as ever big brother.
Dan, You and Don were the two PPD officers who got me interested in getting into policing. You both gassed up your squad cars at the Richfield Station at 36th Street and Indian School while I was working there. During 1968/9 I rode with you numerous times as a c/o out of the Sunnyslope (storefront) Sub-station. I joined your department in mid-1969.
You were dedicated and informative, with a GREAT sense of humor. I learned a lot from you and the guys at the 700 District and was thrilled when that same squad was my first assignment after graduation from Class 85, PPD.
I later went to the Scottsdale Police Department and was the PIO there when your accident occurred. It was one of my saddest days. I will forever appreciate your mentoring and professionalism. My sincere condolences to your family, friends and co-workers.
Rest in God's Peace, Buddy. And, keep up that contagious laugh!
Your heroism and service is honored today, the 20th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
When I assumed command of the Detectives at Squaw Peak Precinct, Dan was one of my detective sergeants. From day one, we got along exceedingly well. I have never seen a more capable officer. He could do about anything that he put his mind to. I thoroughly enjoyed our relationship. When I was PESB commander during the last year before I retired, Dan would often come down and visit me. He felt comfortable in sharing personal information and I felt honored that he would do so. Dan, I still miss you and probably always will. Rest in Peace my friend.
It is very comforting to see that my Brothers friends and coworkers have kept him in their thoughts and still remember him after all the years that have passed by.I kind of expected not to see current reflections, people and things tend to be forgotten over time. So this is a truly touching kindness to my heart and spirit knowing he touched so many so profoundly and is still being remembered.
It has been many years since the tragic assault on these officers. It sincerely broke my heart to hear about this tragedy. To the family and friends, all my blessings and may the good memories stay strong and God bless you all.
I enjoyed working with Dan back in the days! He will always be missed.
When I graduated the academy I was assigned to south phoenix and Danny was a Sergeant down there. He was one of the most knowledgeable street cops I ever worked around. But more then that, he was willing to teach rookies like me what he knew, and he took a personal interest in my safety and career.He was one of a kind.The day Danny and John died, was one of the worst for a great many people; including me.
A truly tragic day for the family, the Police Department and the Community. A friend, a boss and a good person was taken away. RIP.
Dan was a very fine person and supervisor. He worked for me at Sky Harbor station in the late 70's and was a Sgt I could always depend on. When Dan was on the scene I knew it would be handled without any worry on my part and made my job a lot easier.
His dedication to the Police Dept was never questioned and the PPD lost a fine Officer when he was taken before his time and I know he is working on God's team.
There are many heroes that walk among us who make daily sacrifices to protect others. Officer Sgt. Danny L. Tunney thank you for your service. You are a hero in my family’s heart and my heart. Rest in peace.
Dec.16th,1971, my first official day on the street after the academy. You were assigned as my training officer. I could not have asked for a better one. You gave me guidance throughout our careers.
July 26,1990, we were working together again at the North Resource Bureau. I had taken that day off or perhaps I would have been with you instead of John.
Dan, you, as well as John, have not been forgotten, nor will you ever be.
We last talked on a code 7 at El Diablo. You were full of fun and made me laugh. I remember that night as well as others when your good nature helped us all get through the long nights.
