LCCA Honors Lou Caponi With LCCA FasTrack Modular RR Section

During the LCCA’s 44^th Annual Convention at the Marriott East Hotel in Indianapolis IN, LCCA Director Roger Farkash constructed two Lionel/LCCA FasTrack Modular sections in honor of the late LCCA President Infinty Lou Caponi. Lou, while serving as club President last year, passed away due to complications from Diabetes. Roger designed and built two modular sections to honor Lou and depict his passion for Lionel toy trains and hot rod cars. Go to the link below to view this LCCA/Lionel Modular Railroad section built to honor Lou.

I hope all of you enjoy this video and this module dedicated in memory of Lou Caponi will serve an example for others to follow. If you have a loved one and want to honor them, you may want to consider building a LCCA/Lionel FasTrack Modular Railroad Section to celebrate this person’s life.

Respectfully,

Lou’s Brother From Another Mother

Truly outstanding! No matter what we do or try to do. These things are so small when compared to Lou's dedication to Lionel trains and LCCA.

Al,

I'm afraid you misspelled Lou's name. It should be, LOU CAPONI all caps.
