Leo Morello

Peacefully at Peterborough Regional Health Centre on Friday afternoon, November 20, 2020 in his 69th year. Beloved husband and best friend of Yvonne Morello (nee Horlock). Loving father of Steve (Karen), Paul and Rebecca (Rohan). Fondly remembered by his grandchildren Kaysia, Briahna, Devon,  Brandon and Leia. Dear brother of Marie (Sonny). Predeceased by his brother Tony. Also lovingly remembered by his sister-in-law Joyce and his niece Lisa (Tom) and by his great niece Adrianna and great nephew William. Leo started his career as a cook in a middle eastern  restaurant in Scarborough and decided to attend the George Brown Culinary Program. Then he was offered an apprenticeship at the Windsor Arms Hotel in Toronto. From there, Leo went to help the Chef open the Millcroft Inn in Alton, it was there that Leo and Yvonne met and fell in love. Roughly two years later, Leo was offered a Chef's position at the Deerpark Inn in Stouffville. After seven years there, both Leo & Yvonne opened a Cafe and catering business in Newmarket. After ten years had passed, they closed up the Cafe and then focused their efforts on catering for weddings and other major events. They bought their cottage property in the Haliburton Highlands with the idea of eventually retiring to the area. That dream was realized nearly seven years ago.
