Tributes

1. Rest in Peace Dale, Brother. You make up some of my memories of my earliest teenage years that were nearly always of happiness. Friday or Saturday nights catching up with the huge circle of friends we had in Hoppers Crossing and Werribee. Partying. Drinking and mostly misbehaving. The last time I sat with you was at my place and we both spoke of life, love and always our children and families. You always spoke so proudly, albeit sadly of your love of your beautiful children. I know you were in pain, it was clear to anyone so I wish you the peace you so much deserved. I had taken work off today to come and say goodbye but it just didn’t work out but my love was with you, and all your family there today.
   I’ll see you another time Dale. Love always, Jordan.

2. Cuz,
   we haven’t seen a lot of each other much over the years due to life n living etc but I always watched from a far (thanks to social media) n when we have connected it was like we were kids again !!
   Reminiscing about when u guys were living with us in New south as a kid to watching u become a loving father to your beautiful children to rebuilding urself from ur darkest places to be the best version of urself we had the pleasure of seeing !
   As my first cousin u held a spot in my heart n mind that will never be replaced.

3. To Dale (Chip) my mate, my brother,
   I still can’t believe you’re gone.
   Feels unreal We shared more than good times we shared real times.
   The laughs, the late-night chats, the dumb stuff we did
   I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

   You were one of a kind, mate.
   The world’s a little quieter without you,
   but your spirit, your laughter, and all the memories they’ll never fade.

   Rest easy, Chip 💙
   Until we meet again Frank Beracci

4. To Dale,
   I carry your memory with love and sorrow,
   A quiet ache that lingers in the silence.
   You’ll always hold a special place in my heart,
   A light that time can never dim.
   I’m sorry we never got to catch up—
   Life moved too fast, and now you’re gone.
   But I hope, wherever you are, you know:
   You are missed,
   You are loved,
   And you’ll never be forgotten.
   Love from mary beracci

5. Dale, deezy when we was messing around, our creamie when I was stirring you up. When I think of you today, I think of how much you loved your children and how proud of them you were. I hope they know how proud you were of them. Never really seen a father speak so highly of their off spring. Myself, a father raising kids alone you inspired me when speaking on you’re children. As a friend of over 36 years I’m honoured and will think of you everyday until my last. Thank you Dale for being my best friend as teens, catching up over the years has been a highlight that I’ll always hold close to my heart. I love you Dale. Geoff
