Larry Coppa, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away suddenly on June 1, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. He was born on September 9, 1951, in Berkeley, CA, to Joseph and Georgia Coppa. Larry is survived by his devoted wife, Lorriane, and his children: Briana (Joshua Cordeiro), Ariele (Bento Teran), Lara (Kevin McHugh), Linda (Steve Kruschke), and Andrew Coppa. He is also survived by his loving sister, Cheryl Ramos and family. He was a proud grandfather to Makayla, Christiana, Joshua Jr., Wyn, Mossi, Fiona, Hannah, Stella, and great-grandsons Waylon and Parker. Larry had a passion for golfing and found great joy in his rounds at Tracy Golf Club. He especially cherished his time on the green with his friends Steve and Kevin, fondly referred to as "the 3 amigos," sharing laughs and friendly competition as they pursued their shared love for the game. He loved watching the wildlife from his back patio. He took great pride in his home in Diablo Grande and considered himself extremely blessed. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Georgia Coppa, and his brother, Mike. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. A celebration of Larry's life is being planned, and details will be announced in the coming days. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Wounded Warrior Project, a cause that held special meaning to Larry.
