Danice was a loving Dad and Poppy. He was a devoted law enforcement officer for 44 years and enjoyed telling others about his law-enforcement career. Danice was honored to serve with so many great men and women in law enforcement. Danice and Ann enjoyed their vacations in Gatlinburg. Danice also loved spending time with his family, friends, and dogs, Bella and Otis.
