I remember Mr. Caponi very well. We used to be neighbors back in the 50s. I was that little brat always getting in trouble. We're the Groulx family. Roger, Loretta, Gayle and Ann.We moved to California. I remember Mr. Caponi was downstairs making his wine.  He was a great person to know and the family. Very kind person. We the neighbors had a plenty good time in those days. So sorry for your lost of love one.   Old neighbors, Loretta Gayle Groulx Masunu

My Mom was a good friend of your Aunt Anna and in her later years I worked for her.  One day she took me over to meet her brother Louis.  I knew the moment I met him, he was a kind and warm person and made you feel so welcome.  He showed me his beautiful roses and what he was most proud of, pictures of his children. I'm so glad I had the chance to meet him.  My Mom and I both send our sympathies to the whole Caponi family.  Joanie Paulson & Margaret Stewart

Mr Caponi was such a sweet and kind man. We are truly sorry for your loss. Anita and Mike Woodrum.

I know that  Dave and the rest of his siblings loved their father very much and was very much a great part of their lives.I know he will be missed by you , your children and your grandchildren.  God Bless your family during this great time of loss.

It's been many many years but I still remember what a wonderful guy your dad was. He had a quick smile and an easy laugh and always made you feel welcome.
Denny my best to all your family, you all are in our prayers.

Love Arnold & Gayle Farina

god must have needed a new driveway so he called the best. a few short weeks ago god needed new carpet and once again he called for the best. rip mr caponi and mr montano. 

about 35 years ago a good friend of mine bought a new house in madison hgts, there was a garage but no driveway so he called mr caponi. It was an all day job, at the end of the day mr caponi was finishing the cement and almost done when a large dog came bounding up the driveway. I thought i was going to hear some yelling and screaming instead he got up from his spot gently picked up the dog and placed him back over the fence without a harsh word to anyone. that's just the kind of guy he was.

We could tell he was an important part of your family.  How lucky to have such a special person in your lives.  Prayers that God will help you make it through his difficult time.

To the Family,
May the God of all comfort help to strengthen you all and mend your hearts. May your memories of your beloved one replace the sadness of the loss.

Your dad built our family a chimney
But not with just mortar and brick
He added stories and a few lessons
With a laugh and a smile so quick

“Remember to always behave, capisce?
Work hard and make your Dad proud”
I stood looking up at that wonderful face
I'll never forget, I vowed.

For years I'd go look at that chimney
When life seemed to be so unfair
Every brick held his smile I swear I could see
Sanguinity immediately replaced my despair

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time.

Thinking of your family during this sad time

Uncle Louis will live always in our memories. We will always remember his joy in life. Even our own children remember him as the "grandpa who colors" because of the patience and care he showed towards them when he sat with them and helped them with their coloring books. While we can't help but be sad at times like this, we will still feel joy for his life and the way he impacted so many.

Bob and Sue Mancini and Family

Papa Lou will live in our memories and in our hearts.  His charm was magnetic.   He had a heart of gold and a brilliant smile.  We know that someday we will see him again and he will greet me with "Hey Tomaso!"

Dear Don and Jeanne,

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Ray and Suzanne (Perreault) Joseph and Family

I only met him once but he left quite an impression! He lives on in the legacy of all of you. Love to all the Caponi Family during this difficult time.

I always loved my old neighbor, Louie Caponi, or as we knew him then, Mr. Caponi. Growing up with his kids was a joy. Mr. C. was hard-working, yet always had a smile and a good word. He always had fun at weddings and other celebrations. He made others happy just by his own joy. A favorite memory of mine was when he got me tipsy with a large glass of grapa the morning of my wedding!   Greg (and Mary) Kolly

Mr. Caponi is one of the finest men I have ever known.  You could have no better example for your children and grandchildren to emulate.  I am so very sorry to hear of his passing.

Jim Metz, Bainbridge Island, Washington

Dear Caponi family:

It was with great sadness that Mar and I heard of your fathers passing.  Don and I were just talking about your dad on Saturday and how must fun it was with him, your mom and all the other, â€œgreatest generationâ€ dad and mom club members at BFHS we had the privilege of knowing and growing up with.  He was very special and I always admired how tough he was working in the concrete business.  Keep his memory close and I am sure he is having a great time being back with your mother and all the relatives and friends that went before him. 

God Bless You,

Mike and Margaret

Dear Caponi Family,
     What a wonderful man to have had in your lives and what wonderful memories live on!  Take care of each other during this difficult time.  My prayers are with you.

Mr. Caponi was like a second father to me growing up. May Gary, your Mom & your Dad be enjoying a glass of red wine together.  My favorite memory was Mr. Caponi pushing us kids in his wheelbarrow.  Sincerely, Jane(Janie Kolly)

My sympathies to the great Caponi family.  It sounds like Louis had a wonderful life.  

Marty Habalewsky (Madison Heights and Port Huron, Michigan)

Gentle thoughts, peace be with you. Many prayers , much love and lots of hugs. Sandy Malotke

He was loved by all.  We will miss him.  In sympathy & prayer.

To the large and loving Caponi family - my heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you, for your loss.  May all your wonderful memories keep a smile in your heart, during this sad time.

To the Caponi family:  May the memories you cherish fill your heart with peace today and give you  the strength and courage to sustain you on your way.  (Exodus 15:2 "The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation...")
