One of my favorite people I ever worked with. RIP brother

I met Dale about 10 years ago in the car business and stayed in contact him over the years we worked together in 2 dealerships had the pleasure of spending with him at work and outside of work. Being an only son I always considered him to be an older crazy brother with always a big smile on his face and great attitude. It breaks my heart knowing he's gone. He will be deeply missed in the car business world he touched many with his generosity and humor. Thank you Dale for being a good friend and we'll see you later.

In honor of a loving best friend of over 40 years.

There are no words that will ever express over 40 years of a truly loving brotherhood.  All the countless memories we've all had with Dale. Love, laughter, tears and joys.
This world has lost one of the greatest human beings that's ever walked this earth. 
I first met Dale when we were in elementary, I remember two goofy innocent asian kids hanging out after school just about everyday.   Going over to each other's houses. His family and their home was a like a second home to me. We would explore the outside world with our imagination having countless adventures as kids. After elementary,  we didn't see each other again until high school.  At this point, we were inseparable throughout our life. He was always the first person I went to. He was apart of my everyday and will continue to be with me, with us for all our days. Dale was someone you could just gravitate towards.  Full of kindness,  wisdom,  knowledge and someone you'd always want to be around. The kind of person that always had your back and would go above and beyond for you. There are too many memories for me to put in writing but I will sum it up to what I believe he would want to say if he could speak. A heartfelt message that he would want to leave behind. Life is unpredictable,  there are ups and downs, sunshine and storms but having a real loving best friend is a blessing that we should cherish all the time. Never forsake a moment to spend time with each other. Never neglect an opportunity that's in front of you to create an amazing memory that can not be erase. Look at your best friend,  your loved one. Let them know you love them.Acknowledge the value they bring in your life. A huge part of living is being grateful for all those you love in life and being blessed to be apart of it.  I pray we all have a Dale in our lives or find one. We love you Dale. You will always be with us!  
Love

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Dale in the car world. He, absolutely, made selling fun again for me, he brought me to my first races in Texas and he had an energy and spirit that no one else matched. I definitely consider him one of a handful of friends in Texas. I don’t really have words to express how I feel about his loss and I can only begin to imagine how those closer to him feel. I am so sorry, he will be incredibly missed. Everyone is in my thoughts at this incredibly hard time.

Continuation of previous post...
As an adult he was always there for you to listen and  give advice. And sometimes he just needed you to be a listening ear also and would thank me for letting can call to vent. He said he feels better after talking and what always say I'll see you later. 

Dale, I just want to let you know I love you and this is not a goodbye but I'll see you later.

I've known Dale since 1991. We lived in East wind apartments in haltom City Texas. We met by playing outside at the apartment complex. We used to make club houses out of bamboo and then take the same bamboo and throw them at each other like darts. When we didn't hit each other we ended up grabbing rocks and throwing them at each other and it was a game to play rocks. That is until he got hit and told me his mom's going to kill him so we went to my house and doctored him up. I don't think I seen him for a few days cuz he was hiding his bruises. I miss him so much when his family moved out but thank goodness he called me and we talked on the normal landline telephone. We stayed in touch until we were 18 and we both got our own cell phones. He was the one to drive first though and picked me up so we could go to the mall and play video games. North hills Mall used to have coupons in the back of the phone book along with Putt-Putt where we could get 80 tokens for $5. We would then sell those tokens to people by the machines for a dollar for five tokens and turn a profit and that was our first hustle together. We would travel around town looking for coupons in the back of the phone books just to resell tokens and that's how we got our extra spending money in the summertime. We got kicked out of the racetrack go kart place off of loop 820 because we were selling tokens and they even took our pictures. I didn't stop us from coming back a couple months later. 
When I was 15 he took me out on my first date who happened to be a girl named Erica and lived in the same apartment complex as we did when we were kids. 
The three of us stayed friends all the way through to the current day. 
Dale introduce me to a ton of friends. I'm still friends with today including Steve, Vu, Carter and Melanie.
