Luca

Demichele

Luca DeMichele, devoted Son of Marco and Maria, passed away on 4/14/2023 at the age of 93.

Born on October 21st, 1929 in Molfetta, Italy, Luca DeMichele grew up in Hoboken before settling in North Bergen where he spent most of his life. Known as Luke, Lukey or Cool Hand Luke by his friends and family, he enjoyed having parties, being around his friends eating and drinking, and just having a grand old time. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Luca proudly served his country as a veteran of the Korean War and was a member of the VFW and American Legion.

Luca had a passion for life and lived it to the fullest.  He loved the "China Buffet", "Shoprites", and "Wendys".  He enjoyed being with people, singing,  and always telling "stories".

Luca is survived by his son Mark and daugher-in-law Bridget DeMichele; grandchildren Matt DeMichele and his fiancé Morgan LaDuca,  Marissa and Ryan Callanan; brother Nicky DeMichele, and sister Marta Caccioppoli; and several nieces and nephews. His legacy will live on through his loved ones, who will cherish the memories of his life and the impact he had on theirs.

A funeral service to honor Luca's life will be held at Macagna Funeral Home, 495 Anderson Ave, Cliffside Park, NJ. Visitation will be Saturday, 4/22/2023, 9-11am.  We'll have a short service and continue on to Fairview Mausoleum in Fairview, N.J.
