The loss of a loved one is never easy.
Praying for you and your family.
Rest in peace Dale. 
Please accept and sincerest and deepest sympathy. Condolences to the whole family.

Dale, I still can’t believe you’re gone. From the day I met you, I knew you were one of a kind. You had a rare way of making everyone around you feel seen, heard, and respected. You treated people with such grace and kindness, it left a lasting impression on all of us. I will miss you greatly, my friend. The world feels a little less bright without you in it.

Rhodale will always hold a special place in my heart.  Amazing chef, great friend, and one of the most genuine humans I’ve met.

You and Nancy were the most influential couple in my life. The world is so much dimmer without your light.

Here’s the New Years Day text that Dale sent me. This defines what a loving, caring person Dale was. He lived by his morals…

“Happy new year homie. I am eternally blessed to have someone like you in my life. Thank you bud 🙏🏽”

That cat will always be with us in spirt. Bless you brotha…

Dale,

I'm still processing how l will never have the privilege to talk to you or have you cook for me again.

You always put a lot of love & passion into your craft. You were a team leader, an expert & a good friend. I wish I took every opportunity to tell you this when l still had them.

I will remember our random talks about life, music, shows, our favorite comedians & your tips for whenever I'm out eating or cooking in my own kitchen.

Wherever you are, I hope there is peace. Rest in power, Good Sir. And thank you for everything.

Much Love,

Chris/"Buddha"

Casual Monday coffee talk in the kitchen about stroads: 

A stroad is a thoroughfare that combines the features of streets and roads. Common in the United States and Canada, stroads are wide arterials that also provide access to strip malls, drive-throughs, and other automobile-oriented businesses.

I miss you dilly-Dale

Your radiant high-voltage smile and personality will be missed so much by me. Your wedding day was one of my favorites, ever. You brought that light, that vibe, that special high--totally unmatched. 

Thank you for choosing me as your friend, Dale, and as your wedding planner. What an irreplaceable honor.
I miss you.  Heaven loves you so much already.

Love, Stef

To Rhodale, Nancy & Family 

May you find peace whether it’s on earth and in heavens to the moon and the stars... Our condolences from the Lagpacan & Encarnacion family!

Thank you Krystal and Dang for entrusting me to be your wedding planner. For it led me to being Dale and Nancy's soon after. 💍 I witnessed your friendships in such a dynamic way, it ran so deep. I am still so honored to be considered your friend, after the celebrations. 
Your smiles are amazing in this photo and I will miss Dale's energy that made your group so extra extra special. 💙🤍

Love, Stef (your wedding planner)

Dale had that golden smile and charm that anyone would easily gravitate towards. He attended one of my events and wanted a photo with Chef Chu, himself, for the restaurant's 50th anniversary. He was so humbled by the  gesture. That is Dale- simple, captivating and loyal 🩵🤍🩵

I will never forget you Dale.
 love, Stef (your wedding planner)

Our deepest symapathy ,

Rest in Peace 

Prayers for the whole family

I'm saddened to learn his death. Be strong insan, Jehovah God be always with you and Cathy.

- Psalm 34:18 "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit."

I am going to miss you Dale….thank you for your friendship. Rest in peace.

Nancy and family. I can't imagine the loss you're feeling. Please stay strong ❤️

You're the kindest, wittiest, funniest, positive soul in my life. I'm honored to have been your friend in the most unlikely circumstances. May you party on wherever you are. Miss you.
