Tunney's Light With love, Jillian F. Paradise, CA You have changed the world for this warrior wife and mother, and shared hope and healing with a heartbroken husband and father. You helped a hurting boy on his Way to becoming a man. Sharing your wisdom, triumphs and struggles. Being used as part of God's plan. You've blessed our hearts in so many ways. It is such an honor to know and love you. You've help lighten up the darkest of days And shown us there is a way through. Your dedication to truth, your commitment to serve Has sown seeds of healing all over this earth. The harvest is plentiful for all to see, People's bodies are healing And they're being set free. God graced our lives when He brought us together We'll never ever be the same. Whether here on earth or in heaven above, Until we're together again, Please know you are forever loved. |

For Don, Thank you. Thank you for being a gift. God had graced you with an understanding more than can be attributed to our physical existence. You sought to be a shining light in my life, in a time where everything felt like twilight. You insisted in a relationship more than that of mere employer/employee, or even that of a friend. As if you knew that time was a luxury that cannot be wasted. You insisted, again and again that I pay attention to what is not physical. I was stubborn, I tried to avoid, but could not ignore your persistent love. Thank you for choosing to love (like a son) someone that was not much more than a stranger. In this time I felt lost and alone. You came from the shadows and shone a light in my solitude. Xander Courtenay, BC |

Don Tunney - A Remembrance From James and Elizabeth Bare |
|
There are people in the world that work behind the scenes making changes and bettering the overall condition of not just mankind, but the world in general. Don Tunney was one of those people. The modern day interest in Rife and frequency therapies owes much to Don and his tireless dedication. Today, thanks to Don's efforts, the lives of many tens of thousands of people around the world have been changed for the better. Don's efforts have resulted in healings from all sorts of serious conditions, and his efforts have helped shape future world events and directions relating to health care.
Don was our friend, someone that we shared common interests with along with many smiles and laughter. He was someone of integrity whose company we enjoyed, and whose life we now celebrate. On one of his and Eddies many trips through New Mexico, we introduced him to that wonderful libation known as a Margarita. Don really liked having a the occasional well made margarita with dinner and would often thank ( or maybe chide us There are many stories that can be told of Don and his early work with Rife instruments - One important story that comes to mind is the story of Batyah. She was the first person Don ever used the device upon. Batyah means "Daughter of God" and in some ways this was a portent of the direction the rest of his life from that point forward was to take. Batyah was a woman with breast cancer . The device restored her health, and extended her life for several years beyond that which was originally predicted. From this one event, Don's life changed, and he became an instrument of something beyond himself. He gave too much at times but that was Don, and we miss him, his laughter, and his smiling face. Our lives have been touched and blessed by his efforts and we will always miss him James and Elizabeth Bare New Mexico |

Dearest Eddie, Tell Don that I will miss him but I don't have a lot of time before our next meeting.(me and Don)I hope that I can help just half of the people Don has since I'v known him, bout 12 years.I was involved in the first research group, in Comox and I still have videos from it.It was just amazing how the older people felt after a session, and how they improved, Don is good with people I'll say.He has that majic touch, and always a good word about you too.Yes, Don and I will have a lot of catching up to do, especially after all the new things we will learn in between.So if you can read this to him for me I would be happy, for Don was always an inspiration to me, and when I thought of resonant light technology, I always thought of Don and that first group.I have helped a lot of people, people who had the nerve to try something different, something free.I never charge, I just educate ,and gee whiz if they get better they can thank the lord.I thank the Lord for you Don, for your inspiration in my life, and as your endeavor keeps healing,I'll keep answering those same old questions.And until we speak again, thanks for being there for me too,cause they just don't make em like you anymore my friend.Lots of Love, and a hug, Steve and Susan, Rife Technology, Los Angeles.

My condolences.
Don was a great man who perfected Dr. Royal Rife's machine/ GOD/creator of the universes, told me about Royal Rife BEFORE I was born, and when I got sick in 1993, God showed me two people who would improve Rife's machine: Don Tunney and Dr. James Bare. I'm so glad to have met Don Tunney at the First Rife Convention, and to find the machine worked. My Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) is still below levels where I'm considered to have it. Many thanks Don, and I know you have crossed over into the Spiritual World all right! Aloha, Doris Hawaii |

Dear Eddie,
I am truly sorry. Don was surely a bright light in a sometimes drab world. My prayers are with you. J.D. Texas |

Dearest Eddie:
Please accept my most profound condolences in your time of loss. I can only say that my heartfelt prayers are with you and your family. It occurs to me to say that Don was always a servant of the Light and in the Light. He worked to bring about better ways to advance science and relieve human suffering in a cultural environment, which unfortunately lacks integrity. You know that I am personally very grateful for his dedication. Light has always been the principle ingredient of life. From Genesis to this very second every meaningful activity depends on light. I am sure that this does not somehow cease to be the case upon transition, rather that our individual illumination somehow finds a greater identification with the Source of All Being. Don was one of the lights of the world, and we will miss him, but he has followed the path of Light all his life, and now seeks to do that more fully. My ten years of hospice work has convinced me that this is utterly true. And Eddie, I pray that your human grief be mediated with that Gnostic peace that passes human understanding, and that you are touched from within by an illumination of great depth to ease your suffering. I love you, I bless you and feel free to contact me (as always) whenever you like. God is with You Juliette Florida |

Don was the first born of the cousin (Lee) generation (1940's). Whenever anyone spoke of Don, it was with warmth and kindness. Our family has fond memories of "Donny" as we called him. We looked forward to our visits in Alberta or British Columbia. It was always a positive experience. Out mother, Don's Aunt Rita (deceased in 2006), enjoyed caring for Donny during his first four years of age while his mother, (Claire) worked to support them. He was calm, generous and helpful even as a youngster. My sisters have fond memories, of a fun night out dancing with Don, as adults as recent as ten years ago in Edmonton, AB. Don was a patient soul. Approximately fifteen years my senior he always had time for me. I felt safe with him. I recall him taking me on my first motorcycle ride North of Campbell River approx. 1973. It was Don that took me on my first boat ride on the ocean. He treated my husband, Brian to a fabulous day of fishing in Port McNeil, promising him a 25lb salmon and lived up to his promise. In the mid 1960's, Don welcomed our brother Gerald into his home in Sicamous while attending school for grade 10. He was like a brother to our brother Gerald. They shared fond memories of boating and fishing on the Shuswap and Mara Lake. Our father, Uncle Mickey as referred to by Don said they always enjoyed spending time together. Dad remembers small little 3 1/2 yr old Donny sitting up on the fence watching the V-day Parade in 1945. Don and I had a very uplifting conversation after mom (Aunt Rita) passed away. Don sounded wonderful. The best he sounded in years. He was at peace and he was relaxed. He mentioned there were a lot of things he had figured out, undertstood and was very happy. It felt really good to know this. Eddie, thank you for being in Don's life this past six years. It feels good to know you had an active and eventful life together. Thank you for sharing. Don was taken much too soon. He will be missed. He will be remembered for being the "Good & Ambitious Man" that he was. With great love & sympathy, we remain, The Budzinski (Lee) families Uncle Micky, our angel Aunt Rita Gerald, Barbara, Patricia, Wendy, Donna (Brian) Port Coquitlam, BC |

Dear Eddie, firstly my condolences to you, and I am sorry for not responding as I have had difficulty responding to this sad news. It was a shock in a sense to me from many levels but also an understanding of a great spiritual entity that has chosen to evolve further from a higher plane of existence. I am indebted to Don for what he has done globally and on a personal level for what he has provided me with which is the heart of my clinic and exposed a truth for me to grow upon. I have delayed this mail to you but it is necessary for my own acceptance of what is a reality in the physical sense. I did not know Don on a personal level but as we are all connected on another plane, I did know him. With all my love and light Jonathan South Africa |
A salute to my friend Don |

Such a little name for the giant hearted man I knew Don walked tall in integrity and honesty With a kind and generous nature filled with Love for his work and the people he labored for. I will recall Don as I have seen him many times Standing at Parade Rest appearing so like that Proud Canadian Mountie that he once was. I will miss my friend Don Tunney And hope that we shall meet again on some far shore Eric Ohio |
Dear Eddie, My heart goes out to you and to all the people whose lives were touched by Don. He certainly touched my life in a profound way, sharing his humour, his openness, his love, and his generosity. I would like to offer this quote from "Illusions" by Richard Bach: "Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain, for those who are friends." Don was certainly a friend who I know I will meet again. We had an agreement that he who proposes, does. More often than not, this applied to who paid for our frequent lunches together. So, Don, when we do meet again, and I know we will, lunch (and life) is on me. I'm so sorry that I can't make the trip back to Courtenay at this time. I will spend quiet moments to be there with you in spirit. With much love, Ed Ontario |
Dearest Eddie Words cannot really express how we felt at receiving the news of your dear Don's passing. We reach out to you across the miles from our heart and hold you close dear one. It has been an honour for us to share in some of Don's care during these past months, the joys, the sadness, and all in between. It has been a growing experience for us as well in compassion and allowing what IS to BE. Don spent most of his life committed to helping others and for this we are grateful. We have known Don for many years and have watched this commitment . Several years ago we witnessed the joining of Eddie and Don at their marriage. They worked very hard at the business, met and assisted many people around the world as they continued their journey together in the healing modalities.They enjoyed their trips to Mexico, and Eddie even managed to get Don on the golf course which he embraced wholeheartedly/ Eddie, we know that Don will always be at your side assisting and guiding you as the years pass. Your love will continue throughout eternity and there is only love. We deeply regret not being there with you at this time but just know we are there in spirit and love. We send you peace and hugs from the both of us in Australia. We will return February 3 Love and Light Larry and Mabel Courtenay, BC |
My name is Dennis Richardson, an old troopmate of Don Tunney from our training days at Rockcliffe, Ontario in 1964 as RCMP Members. Don was a close pit partner to me, having his bed just across the aisle in our barrack block. Don was happy, smiling and always had good things to say about anyone. I have several photos of Don polishing his boots and working on his kit from our training days together. We spent the better part of 9 months together and Don and I made several excursions across the river to Hull to have a pint of beer. In those days, we were all young, single men, and were still wet behind the ears. One thing really sticks out in my mind about Don, and that was during our drill on the parade square. Don, like me, had two left feet at times, and there was the odd occasion when we were dispatched to the horse manure pile and stood to attention to atone for our mistakes. We chuckled many times in the barracks at night about this as we gained character and became men. I will always remember Don and have good thoughts about him. I can see his face to this day in my mind and may he rest in peace. He was a Good Man. - Dennis Richardson, Calgary, AB |
I've known Don Tunney for several years, here in Mexico and when he and Eddie visited us in Missouri. I don't really know why, but when we got the note on his passing I thought of the movie "A Man for All Seasons". Maybe it is because he was a man, a policeman, a scientist, loving husband and father. He was blessed with a brilliant mind and a keen sense of humor, which he used to lighten the mood and brighten the day. He had a remarkable grasp of things medical, which he shared with all of us without hesitation. He was a strong but gentle man, who championed the weak and avoided confrontation, but when confronted didn't hesitate to express his views. His happy smile, and quick wit will be missed by all. - Don and Tess Montgomery, Missouri and Paamal, Mexico |
Memories of Don - by Jack Ewen I first met Don in Port McNeill in February 1976. Myself and a few locals were trying to get a club started for trap shooting. At that time, Don was the owner of Timberland Sports, so I approached him to help get things started. Don was a great help, and he was one of the first presidents of the club. It turned out to be a great success, and it is still operating today. This was just one of many ventures that we embarked on together. Don was never afraid to start something new. The two of us were the original owners of Alder Bay Resort; we also started a used car lot - not a good business in Port McNeill in 1986. We had to shut it down when Don told me that the customers were better salesmen than I was. Don loved to fish, and he ran fishing charters out of Port McNeill. He hauled boom chains to Holberg, Winter Harbour, etc. In 1992, we decided to get into the emu business where we were going to make millions. We spent a small fortune on emus, pens, and incubators, and had to throw the towel in after about a year. But, at least those birds made some tasty burgers! After that, Don moved down island, and although we didn't see much of him after that, I still always think fondly of him. We had a lot of good times together, and I know I could never find a more loyal friend, and that's the way I'll always remember him. Good Fishing Don, Jack Ewen Port McNeill, BC |
