Losing grandpop
please summarize this story
Nearly 40 years after Eugene DeLuca was shot to death during a robbery, his granddaughters stood in a hushed Philadelphia courtroom.
“We never got the chance to call him Grandpop, feel his hugs, see his smile ... hear his laugh or hear him tell us he loves us,” Stephanie DeLuca said, her voice breaking. “The defendant murdered our grandfather and stole all those opportunities from us all.”

The women spoke in March to oppose the release of Joseph Evans, who was 17 when he walked into DeLuca’s men’s shop and drew a .38-caliber revolver.
DeLuca died at 54. A year earlier, his son, Joe, had dropped out of college to help open a second clothing store. After the shooting, the family closed both, in part over fears of another robbery; Joe began carrying a gun. DeLuca’s widow started drinking and spent the rest of her life as an alcoholic.
“My father lost his dad and then he basically lost his mother,” Denyse DeLuca, born the year after her grandfather’s death, said in an interview.

The sisters might have been open to Evans’ release if convinced of his remorse, they said. In court, he spoke little, explaining there was nothing he could say to undo DeLuca’s death. A judge approved the terms of negotiations between prosecutors and defense lawyers, resentencing Evans to 30 years to life and making him immediately eligible for parole. But the Pennsylvania parole board subsequently denied Evans’ release.
