Luka Stefureak-Coppola Obituary
Tragically, our dear little Luka died at birth on Thursday, December 22, 2011. Much loved by parents Gerry Coppola and Nancy Stefureak, brother Jacob, grandparents Aneillo and Matilda Coppola and Mathew and Beverley Stefureak. Also survived by uncles Mark Stefureak (Vicki Yaltema), Lou Coppola (Diane), aunts Lesley Stefureak, Patti Coppola, Lena Coppola (Colin Tapping), and cousins Marc and Matt Coppola, Noah, Olivia, and Gabriel Tapping. A private family funeral service was held for Luka on December 27 at Pleasantview Memorial Gardens, Font Hill, Ontario. Luka was not given time to leave his mark of goodness in our world but his legacy will be, in small but enduring part, through the achievements of students who will benefit from the Luka Stefureak-Coppola Memorial Fund established at Lakehead University."
