The Call The late moments of the night To the early sounds of the morning The call comes around A call no one wants to hear But a call that will ease the sounds The sounds of suffering and pain from a well fought battle To peace and calmness of a new resting angel An angel loved by all and missed by many The angel, whom is my loving Nonno Angelo October 7, 2017 1:25am For my Nonno, Deanna Di LORETO, Angelo Francesco Born September 16, 1932 – Molina Aterno, Province di L’Aquila, Abruzzo, Italy It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Angelo Di Loreto, beloved Husband, Father (in-law), and Nonno on Friday, October 7, 2017, peacefully at St. Peter’s Hospital after a courageous battle with lung cancer. He will always lovingly be remembered by his wife of 56 years Elena, along with their children Enzo (Christine), Louie (Paula), and Teresa (Mike Countryman). He was extremely proud of his granddaughters: Deanna, Jennie, Ellie, Meghan, Tessa, Michaela, Isabella, Danielle and his great-granddaughters Meara and Ava Mae.

Angelo was born in Molina Aterno, province of L’Aquila in Abruzzo, Italy, he worked in Belgium for a time with his brother before coming to Canada. He returned to Italy in 1961 to marry his love Elena. They returned to Hamilton to build a future together and raise their three children on Chestnut Ave. He retired from Stelco after 30 years of service when he then spent more time on his true passion gardening. He also enjoyed spending time at Italian Social Clubs, particularly Monello’s to play cards, watch soccer and have an espresso with a shot. While at St. Peter’s he was a three time Bocce champion and enjoyed playing Scopa, Briscola Tresette and having a glass or two of wine with his meal. His guilty pleasure was watching WWE with his wife Elena, daughter Teresa and granddaughter Danielle. We are grateful to the doctors, nurses and staff of 3 West at St. Peter’s and Maria, his PSW from Bayshore for the kindness and care they showed Angelo.
