A Suffolk County business owner and Navy veteran has been appointed to the Suffolk County Police Foundation’s advisory board.
The appointment of Moloney Funeral Homes President Dan Moloney Jr. was announced by Suffolk County Police Foundation’s advisory board Co-Chairman Louis Tutone and Director Lisa Tuozzolo.
Mr. Moloney Jr. has served as owner and president of his family business for more than a quarter century. Following his service to America in the United States Navy, Mr. Moloney kicked off his professional career as a chef and restaurant owner. He officially joined the family funeral home business in 1996, following in the professional footsteps of both his father and grandfather.
“The Suffolk County Police Foundation is honored to have Dan Moloney, from Moloney Funerals Homes, as an advisory board member. The name Moloney is synonymous with community, caring, compassion, and dignity, and the Foundation is excited to have Dan and his team bring those traits and so many others to our Board. On a personal note, Moloney's is where my family and I have chosen to celebrate our family members who have passed over the last two decades and where so many in law enforcement chose to memorialize their loved ones. Together, we will do great things for the Community and Law Enforcement in Suffolk County,” said Louis Tutone, co-chairman, Suffolk County Police Foundation.
The Suffolk County Police Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) whose mission is to provide opportunities for essential growth and advancement for strategic initiatives, state-of-the-art technological advancements, and critical support of public and officer safety, all while developing and fostering the partnership and relationships among our law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve.
Moloney Funeral Homes presented the foundations with a $50,000 donation to help in this mission.
"It is our privilege and honor to be a part of and support the Suffolk County Police Foundation. Over the last 90-plus years, Moloney Family Funeral Homes have served the families of many police officers, firefighters, and first responders. I'm proud to join the foundation's advisory board and look forward to contributing to the success of the foundation as well as helping provide our police officers with the tools and equipment they need to continue to protect and serve the communities of Suffolk County,” said Dan Moloney Jr.

Daniel Sr., opened another location in Lake Ronkonkoma. Since then, the business has grown to seven locations. Dan Moloney Jr. and his wife Denice have two daughters, Danielle and Kate, as well as six grandchildren.
