Obituary for Leonardo Rocco Di Leo
Leonardo Rocco Di Leo passed away holding his daughters' hands on Friday, January 20, 2017 at the age of 92 after a brief illness.
Rocco was born on December 7, 1924 in Pisticci, Matera, Italy. He came to Canada in 1952 and built a full and beautiful life with his wife Anna (Sardella), and their five children, Adele Newton (Peter), Micki Di Leo (Bruce Snowden), Mary Ann McKlusky (Doug), John Di Leo, and Etta Di Leo (Dave Johnston). His life will live on through his grandchildren Adam (Tamara), David (Caryl), Evan, Erin, Savannah and Cassidy.
He is survived by his brother, Michele Di Leo, his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Bianca and Pasquale Plati, and his many nieces and nephews in Italy and in Canada.
Rocco loved his family, his garden and his home. He was blessed to have lived in his home until the last few weeks of his life.
Many thanks to the caring nurses and Dr. Katie Turchin at St. Joseph Health Centre. Special thanks to Dr. Caroline Chessex for her constant care and support.
Please make donations to Covenant House in lieu of flowers.
