Yesterday November 5, 2009 was a sad day for the City of Burbank as it was the funeral of Burbank Police Officier SGT Neil Thomas Gunn Sr. funeral and graveside services. I did not attend the church services as it was out in Porter Ranch. I did attend the graveside services at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills. I sat off in the distant as I was in shorts and not dressed for a funeral. There were several Burbank High grads there as some are Burbank Police Officers and my classmate Cathy Coyle BHS 1967 attended both the churh and gravside services. Burbank Mayor Gary Bric BHS 1970 was also in attendence along with many Burbank City Officials. Below are some of the photos that I was able to get.
