Altice Family,
I would like to thank you for the courage and bravery that was instilled in Danny. I have been lucky enough to say that I have met Danny on a few ocassions. With every time that I had seen him one thing had never changed, he was always smiling. He looked like the kind of person that loved life and every person in it. May God be with you in your times of sorrow. You are in my prayers God Bless you!

I am a stranger to you, but I am not, I am the mother of a firefighter, I once asked recently, Son, why do you do this? why do you worry me so, taking care of others before yourself, it scares me sometimes...his response was so sweet and so simple: Mom, I do what you taught me to do...wow...my prayers and thoughts are with this family, and I have shed many a tear, but our tears are rain from heaven and that is where he is.....know that he is with his creator as I know that is where mine will be on that same day...

I will truly miss seeing him at our 50th high school reunion next year. May God bless and be with his family through this trying time.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Danny Altice. I met him as a student serving as the president of the FCHS Class of 1987, when he so generously allowed the use of his property so that we could build a float for the Homecoming parade. I have never forgotten his kindness. May God comfort and keep you in the days ahead.

Christie,
Although we never met until that night I thought would never come, I loved your father like he was my own. I thought the world of Danny, he was very good to me from the start. I would talk to him for hours, he was full of stories, jokes, and knowledge. I will never forget Danny as a man who was a fire fighter, truck driver or a strong hearted gentle kinded old man. Sorry for your loss and ours.

(Danny its your boy Jody saying goodbye one last time. Love u old man)
