The fondest memories of my Army days are of my adventures with Dante, when we served together. I'm truly, and deeply saddened, my condolences to his family and friends.
I worked with Dante at Celgene and remember enjoying his company during our meeting both in the US and in the UK and he would joke in a friendly way about my Scottish accent. Rest in Peace Dante.
I met Dante when he was a student at the University of Kansas. I will always remember him as a bright light with a big smile who brightened any room he entered. Was happy to know him and to his husband and his family,bibam terribly sorry for your loss.
Dante, you are a professional and respectful person. I remember you teaching us about six sigma during Lunch & Learn. And when we met in the office, you always gently greeted me ’Hi Chiharu-san’. We will never forget your smile...
Dante, what an amazing person you were. You brought out the best in everyone and you touched the lives of many people - including mine. You were a dynamic, vibrant and thoughtful leader who had an extremely positive attitude towards life. I'm grateful to have had the chance to know you. Time may pass and fade away but memories of you will always stay with us in DS. May your soul rest in peace. Aigato.
To our Dearest Dante, we will miss you dearly! We will miss you in our team meetings, our 1:1 talks, your leadership, most importantly we will miss your loving and warm smile. From day one, you pushed your team to shine, and you gave each one of us an opportunity to grow in our own way at DSI. We will always hold a piece of you in our hearts. You are resting now. Continue to watch over us and we will continue to work together as a team. Gone too soon, but you will never be forgotten. With Love, Your ‘Charlie’s Angels” – Ariela, Christine, Deja, LaQuana, and Tomomi
I had the pleasure of knowing Dante from Celgene, and it was wonderful to reconnect and work with him again at DSI. Dante was kind-hearted and radiated positive energy. His passing is deeply saddening. My heartfelt condolences go out to his husband and family. May he rest in peace.
I met Dante after Patrick and I started working together at the St. Regis in Dana Point, CA. I knew from the very moment that I met Dante and Patrick that I found "my people". Dante, thank you for your kindness, joy, laughter and love you always brought with you. I am forever thankful for the memories with you and Patrick, and I will cherish and keep them in my heart forever.
Until we meet again sweet friend,
Denise Wilson
I knew Dante from Celgene. Always loved chatting with him especially when he moved to our building. He was such a friendly and kind person. My condolences go out to his husband and family.
Dearest Dante - rest in peace in heaven.
I loved knowing you and having the pleasure of working with you. You made all our lives at Celgene so much better knowing that you were taking care of the detail and importantly our welfare.
I first met you in October 2017 and the picture attached was on the very first day we all met as a little team. You were so happy to help anyone and you were appreciated by myself and all at Celgene. It was an absolute privilege to have you in our team.
I loved hearing all the stories about your beloved husband Patrick, your dogs, your family, your house renovations, your military service etc etc.
Sending all my love from across the water.

I am heartbroken to hear about the sad news of Dante.
I worked closely with Dante, and he was such a kind and loving person. He shared stories of his trips, his rescue dogs from Puerto Rico, his two other dogs, his lovely husband and the rest of the family in Kansas City. So many memories.
Prayers and condolences to family and loved ones!

Dante was a wonderful person and a professional in the field of Training, making a global impact. He was highly respected by his colleagues in Japan and was a fantastic teammate. May he rest in peace. Yasuko Meguro
I will always remember the first time we met Dante when he came to the Westin to see you Patrick on his way home. He slipped in and when you introduced him to me and Gareth he treated us like old friends. The two of you made that place - the hotel, the town and even NJ feel like home. Always in our hearts.
Dante’s kind heart, infectious personality & bright smile will always be in our memories. The way he filled a room with his positive vibe & Jovial ways will never be matched. May his gentle soul rest peacefully.

I worked with Dante at Celgene and then again at DaiichiSankyo. We had alot of great times at Celgene. I was honored when he asked me to join him at DaiichiSankyo. Dante was one-in-a-million! Such a great guy. My heart breaks for his family. He will truly be missed.

I had the honor of working for Dante at Daiichi Sankyo. He was my daily ray of sunshine and inspiration. His infectious personality, smarts , wit, charm, patience and positivity will be engraved in my head and heart forever. The world has lost one of the best and you will be missed my DP.
I am deeply saddened by this news. Dante was not only a remarkable business partner but also a wonderful human being. My entire team frequently inquired about his health, and we all hoped for his recovery. This news is truly heartbreaking. Dante's positive impact on Daiichi Sankyo will always be remembered. May his soul rest in peace, and may his family and friends find the strength to cope with this loss.

Although I never had the opportunity to meet Dante, his sister Mia is like a sister to me. I am aware of the kind, supportive, and genuine person he was and that will live on in his sister, Mia. I can tell from photos and in her stories what a bright light he was in the world. I send my love and prayers to Dante’s husband and family ❤️ May he rest in peace and you all find comfort during this time. I am very sorry for this huge loss of yours.
