Dante, you were an amazing man with a beautiful heart. I had the pleasure to work with you at UMOS. You were so compassionate to all you served and it showed. You will always be remembered as a role model for young Hispanic men and women. I miss your unique personality. RIP

I thought of Dante today. I worked with him 30 years ago selling cars. I was 23, he was 73. I absolutely loved talking with this man! I learned so much! I´m sure he quickly forgot me after I had left the company, but he made an impression on a young man that will clearly last a lifetime.
Thank you, Dante.

I cannot say enough kind words to express my feelings for you Dante we worked closely together for 20 years and I had the privilege to learn from him many things about Migrant Farmworkers across the state of Wisconsin. As his immediate supervisor I enjoyed his great ideas and his creativity and humor. You will always be missed by me. May you rest in peace in the spirit world.

Way back, in 1963 or 1964 I was privileged to take a trip with the Navarro group to Acapulco and Mexico City; we had a grand time even with the prevalence of Montezuma's Revenge, we soldiered on and I will always remember the good time.

My deepest sympathies to Dante's family and friends. He was a very good and cherished friend of my dad, Tony Analla. I remember his visits to the house when I was just a little girl and will always remember with fondness his visit last year to see my dad shortly before he passed away. God bless you Dante. Please give my dad a hug for me.

First let me offer my deepest sympathies to Dante's family and all his many friends. I met Dante 15 years ago when I first started working at UMOS. He was such a sweet man. Every time that he stopped by the office, I could always count on him for a smile, a joke and a hug that would just make my day! He was always so happy. He helped so many during his time here on earth. He was truly and angel that walked among us. He was loved by so many and will be forever missed.

For the short time I worked with Dante at UMOS, it didn't take him long to preserve a special place in my heart. He certainly was a one of a kind and has left his mark on this earth like no other. His charisma and lust for life should be an example to all that he has touched. You enjoyed your journey here on earth, now relax and enjoy your journey into the spirit world my friend.
April 24, 2013
Dante, thank you for your friendship and for the joy of your company. Thanks for the memories of the good times working con la Raza. Everything
was special because of you. Nos vemos,

All i want to say to the family is "un Millon de Gracias" I know all the work Dante did for the community was done because he was passionate and wanted only what was fair for all, but as his family you had to be there to support him through it all. I met him while working at UMOS and he always had a big smile on his face, i never heard him complining even once...all his work will always be remembered and celebrated. Thank you so much and may he rest in peace in the arms of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

A gentleman's gentleman whose visits to our home in Mequon with his wife Ines were an essay in class, dignity and spirited fun. He was the first man to put me behind a radio console and while I didn't know it then, he clearly recognized that I belonged there. God Bless you Dante. We will never see your like again.

Dante was a true pioneer in the Milwaukee Latino community. A man who stayed committed to the cause long after others faded. He was the voice of Milwaukee from the very beginning and to the very end. I remember as a young boy my parents listening to his radio show on weekends. He was our first media star. And, later he was voice of the movement. Rest in peace Dante.

Dear Dante,
I will remember many things about you: endless energy; stories that made us laugh; standing up for the rights of others, time and again. But mostly i remember how kind you were, how angry you could get at abuse. I remember when you were running for office. So many memories - all good- and all meant to be. those i will keep with me as you move on in your life's journey.

To the family of Dante Narravo,
Dante was a true farmworker advocate. I will always remember his smile and infamous words that he would always share with me. He would always stop me and say, "Joven aquí estamos luchando para mejora la vida de nuestros compañeros. Vamos Dándole ganas hasta que Diosito me mande llamar”! May you find solace and joy at his work knowing that he has touched so many lives and gave them hope! God be with you and your family.

To Dante's Family & Friends:
I first met Dante at a demonstration at the UWM Campus during the student and community uprising and attempted take over of the Dean's office to convince the school of the provision of services to the Hispanic Community. I them met him again during the Caesar Chavez walk for Migrant Rights. This was in the 60s.I was inspired by his dedication to the community and his ability to very eloquently and with much dignity put university and other officials in their place when they tried to dismiss the protesters demands. When I began work at UMOS 24 yrs ago, I discovered to my surprise and pleasure that Dante was still advocating for the migrant community as a UMOS employee. I continued to be impressed by his continued dedication, stamina and energy and most importantly by his power of persuasion in his advocacy for the rights of the under served and under represented. His dedication, work and smiling will face be sorely missed.

I first met him as a child where he worked at the first Hispanic Radio Station in Racine. I later worked with him in the Hispanic Community in Milwaukee. I spoke with him a few weeks ago and for some strange reason had him on my mind this week. .I will truly miss him. . May our good Lord accept him with open arms.
