Gaetano Adamo Obituary

Passed away peacefully on April 5, 2021 in his 60th year after a courageous battle with cancer. Will be sadly missed by his son Gabriel Adamo of Hamilton, his sister Anna Cabral and her husband Manny, nephews Adam and Daniel, all of Milton. Special to Mary Sarnese and her son Joseph. Guy was born on May 21, 1961 in Delia, Sicily. Predeceased by his parents Anna and Calogero. Fondly remembered by family and friends for his sense of humor, love of music and sports, and passion for wine and food - having worked in many Toronto restaurants, including co-owner of Ambria. Special thanks to Dr. Shaqil Kassam at Stronach Regional Cancer Centre, Halton CCAC, and Ian Anderson House for their care and compassion. Cremation has taken place. A private family interment will follow at a later date. Donations to Ian Anderson House would be greatly appreciated. In memory of Guy, listen to a Genesis song.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I worked with Guy at Fabbrica, and he was always so joyful, funny, ready to crack a joke and make us laugh. Working at the restaurant with him was a lot of fun, and he had so much experience and gave me tips along the way.
He always spoke about his son Gabriel and how proud he was of him. So much love in his heart. He also loved his music, and we would talk to me about bands. Great soul, may he rest in peace. You are in my prayers.

I was very blessed to work with Guy at Bymark .Guy used to drive me nuts tapping his fingers impatiently awaiting his order , than laugh when he was busted. My daughter Hannah and Gabriel once had lunch together at Bymark , ages 6 and 11. Guy was one of those guys that would test your knowledge in Music and History.Guy always kept you on your toes.Guy was and will always be in my heart forever.

Guy had an incredible memory. He would see clients walk into the restaurant and recall serving them 35 years prior, could recall what they are and the names of their dogs. Incredible. I haven’t worked with him in years but still clients ask for him. An awesome spirit. He always hummed the same few lines from the same few songs, I think of him whenever I hear it. Thank you Guy for teaching me to use olive oil in so many ways - who knew it was a great shoe polish or last minute moisturizer? What a guy Guy was. Rest well Sir.

I worked with Guy for a few years at Fabbrica. Will always remember his sense of humour, how he talked with passion and love and pride about his son, his love of food and music and of course his famous greeting of “hey, buddy boy”. Condolences to his family.
