you have cycled for over 40 years for young people, now go up to heaven with your Graziella – ilBustese.it

It doesn’t matter what you needed at “San Luigi”: advice, encouragement, a game of football or cards. Elio has always been there for the young people of the San Luigi oratory in Busto Arsizio.

After forty years of daily pedaling from Sacconago to the center of Busto Elio Morello, 69 years old, took his Graziella and went up to heaven. A unique figure, a man with a big heart who with simplicity and total dedication did his utmost for the children. «Generations have passed – he comments emotionally Giuseppe Abenante – and he has always been there. It was a reference for the oratory. Anyone who frequented him from the end of the Seventies to the beginning of the Eighties has known Elio.” And he is grateful.

He loved his Gela origins, like his Busto who he crossed every day with Graziella despite his physical problems: nothing stopped Elio, who wanted to run to his boys and spend precious time with them, making them grow in the healthy values ​​he shared. The funerals they will be celebrated today, Tuesday 16 April, at 3.15pm in the church of Sacconago (preceded by the rosary at 3pm). However, there will be many friends from the Bustocco oratory.

Of Elio, we remember – among his many commitments – his enthusiastic leadership of the Csi, which he led to Serie A and was always at the forefront of the Spadea tournament for 15 years. He knew when to be elegant, with his pinstripe suit, and when to show up in tracksuit and with shampoo in his bag, certain of victory. And then the passion for music: «How much he liked Celentano and Drupi… he went crazy for them. Elio deserved the good that everyone loved him.”
