It was such a shock to hear of this terrible tragedy and my sincerest sympathies go out to Pam, David and all of the Altman family. Steve and Dan were wonderful gentlemen - kind, generous people and great business leaders. I worked for Steve and with Dan for many years in the Altman Companies and learned so much about property management and development from them and from the rest of the family in the companies. Any successes I have had in my career I owe, in large part, to the Altmans and, especially, to Steve. My thoughts and prayers are with this wonderful family, especially in this time of terrible loss.

As a former resident of Anthony Wayne Senior Housing, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Altman. He was very kind and his company did a most wonderful project in converting the old school into a residence for seniors.
There was no request denied, he was most generious in making us comfortable. My deepest sympathies to both families, they will be remembered in my thoughts and prayers. May Our Lord comfort you.
