My family were neighbors of Michael D. Tunney, Sr. starting October 31, 1970. What a great family ! Michael always was a nice person who would go out of his way to help anyone, usually a smile upon his face, and with a glorious head of curls that broke many a young girl's heart ... but, Michael's full heart went to his beautiful wife Nancy. Michael became friends to my brother Art and I am quite sure that they had quite a few adventures together. I remember seeing Michael last summer as he was looking at all of the changes to his childhood home ... he was so happy that day !
My condolences to Nancy and their children and to all of the Tunney Family. What a shocking loss ! I will miss seeing Michael about Town ! May God Bless All of You ! Heaven's gate has already opened up and Michael will be seeing all of those others that he had loved in years gone by and Michael will be watching over his Family here on Earth !
