Mike was born in Hartford on Feb. 20, 1924, the son of the late Prospero and Jenny Morello. A World War 2 veteran, he served honorably in the U.S. Army and was a proud member of the D-Day campaign.

Morello and his wife Viennie of Windsor Locks; his grandson Anthony Morello of Warren, VT; his nieces Janice Morello, Joyce Bertholf, Nancy Famiglietti and Gina Fusco.
