elevated TSoBB
It is with deep sadness that the family of Amerigo Covello announces his passing on January 2, 2026 – peacefully, surrounded by his family at Mackenzie Health Hospital – at the age of 89. Born on July 2, 1936, in Perito, Italy, to Antonio and Annunziata Covello. Amerigo lived a life defined by devotion to family, pride in his craft, and the traditions he carried forward with love.
elevated TSoBB In 1962, after becoming engaged, he made the courageous decision to move to Canada to build a new life. He married Ada (née Coscarelli) in 1963, beginning a partnership that spanned more than six decades. Together, they raised a family rooted in warmth, hard work, and the values of their heritage.
elevated TSoBB A skilled and dedicated carpenter, Amerigo spent 25 years shaping the architectural landscape of southern Ontario, contributing to major construction projects from Pickering to Guelph. He was a proud and longstanding member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters & Allied Workers Local 27, a community that meant a great deal to him.
elevated TSoBB Amerigo leaves behind his beloved wife Ada (née Coscarelli); his children Antonio, Francesco (Marnie), Maria (George 2016), and John (Larissa); and his three grandchildren Rachel, Cleo, and Thomas. He is also survived by his brother Francesco (Rosanna 2025) and his sister Anita (Vincenzo 1993).
elevated TSoBB Amerigo was a devoted husband whose loyalty, steadiness, and quiet acts of care shaped the foundation of his family. He was a loving father who guided his children with patience, strength, and unwavering support. In his later years, nothing brought him more joy than his grandchildren. They were the light of his life, and he cherished every moment spent watching them grow, laugh, and carry forward the family spirit he held so dear.
elevated TSoBB He found joy in the simple, abundant pleasures of life: tending his garden, gathering family around the table, and sharing the food and wine he lovingly crafted by hand. He made his own wine, cured meats, prepared tomato sauce, and filled the home with jars of homemade jams and preserves — each one a testament to his patience, skill, and generosity.
elevated TSoBB He will be remembered for his steady presence, his craftsmanship, his pride in his roots, and the love he poured into every part of his life. His legacy lives on in the family he cherished, and the countless places touched by his hands.

We, here at work, were saddened by the passing of your father-our sincere sympathies. We never met him, but we felt his presence through all the wine, prosciutto, sauce and jams he so lovingly made and you brought for us to try. He’ll be surely missed.
Tony, you’re a good boss, but it’s certain he was an even better father.
God rest his soul.

Tony, I’m thinking about you and your family, passing along sincere heartfelt condolences. May your father rest in peace,
He was a kind, respectful, and wonderfully organized neighbor. Even into his 90s, he stayed active and independent, always inspiring us. I still remember offering to help when he was carrying his tires to storage in the back — he smiled and said, “No, I can still do it myself.” He will be remembered with great warmth and respect.
Deepest sympathies and condolences from Kastanis Family.
May Amerigo rest in peace.
May all the love we share bring strength, love and unity to the Covello family and friends.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of our cousin Amerigo. Our deepest and sincere condolences to the entire Covello family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time.
My Deepest Condolences to the Covello family. May Amerigo rest in eternal peace.
