What a shock and very sad news. My sympathies to his family, both his real family and his family in this hobby.
May Lou rest in peace.
Too sad, too soon and too much of a loss to the hobby, and, of course, most importantly, to his family and friends. My condolences to all those who knew Lou. He will be missed by many in the hobby, of course. I know I greatly appreciated his creativity and energy on behalf of the LCCA.
Rest in peace Lou!!!
I also am very sad to hear about Lou. It seems that we were just talking about him and wishing him well during the LCCA convention. It's never fun to loose someone in this hobby. My thoughts and prayers are with Lou's family and all those he touched.
This is very sad news. Lou was always friendly to everyone including those he only interacted with through LCCA. He will be missed.
Lou was a good friend. I first met Lou in 1980 and we have been good friends for years. I conversed with Lou about two weeks ago and he brought me up to speed on his health. Lou has always been a fighter and has been a great guy. Lou loved his Family, Trains and cars. Last year when I found out I had prostate cancer, Lou was the first to call me and show his support. Thank you Lou. Lou always had a smile and positive outlook on everything. Like thousands of his friends, we will always miss him and take his memory with us until someone writes about us.
E-mail sent.
Thank you.

I only met and talked with Lou a few times, at Lionel's Service Center open houses and at York, but he left quite an impression. He was certainly an asset to the hobby and to the LCCA. Goodbye Lou.

Whistles will sound for Lou tonight. My condolenceS to Lou's family and friends.
Dealt with Lou when he had his stores in the Philly area, he was one of a kind.
RIP my friend,

Condolences to Lou's family and friends. His enthusiasm for the hobby was unbridled!
I will miss his posts here on the forum. RIP Lou.

That is SO very true. As the LCCA posting indicated, Lou had a larger-than-life personality, and I can't think of a better person to have the title LCCA President Infiniti bestowed upon him! Seems like only yesterday that I would stop in at Train99 along Route 202 in the late 1980's.
Very sad to hear this news... 62 is much too young.
Deepest sympathies to Lou's immediate family and his close friends. RIP, Lou.

Sincere sympathies to Lou's family and to his legion of friends from the entire staff at OGR. Once you met the man, you could never forget him. He truly was a one of a kind, and his love of the hobby and the LCCA was both inspiring and contagious.
Very said News- I met Lou in 1980 when I worked for Greenberg. Many times we all would go out to eat after the shows we also had lunch many times at the show during set up. We became very good friends.
in 2002 The Pittsburgh Area Hi-Railers set up for the LCCA convention in Pittsburgh. The next year 2003 Lou asked if we would take the Layout to Las Vegas. Lou always was able to make things happen.What a Great time we had.
After a Name change The Pittsburgh Independent Hi-Railers set up at 2 more LCCA Conventions for Lou.
No matter when I saw Lou he always asked how my wife and daughter were doing.
RIP my Friend.
Our prayers go out to Rose and Dominic, Lous famly, and to Lou. He touched our hobby life at many points in our lives and made it a mor fun experience for each of us
Veronica and larry
I will miss his posts here on the forum. RIP Lou.
We will miss you CAPS CAPONI!
