To the Coppola family –
Lynn here. My family and I are very sorry for your loss. I remember Mr. Coppola as a very nice guy and a good friend to my Dad. I’m sure they’re having a beer together right now and laughing about all the foolish things us kids did growing up. May he rest in peace. I wish you all peaceful memories of happy times together.
Bill and Kathy Horner and family.
