From Lou’s Family
Yesterday, August 18th, my family and I suffered the great loss of my father, Louis Capozzola. The outpouring of support from friends and family has been amazing and it has meant a lot to see just how much he touched all of the people in his life.

All are welcome and we can help arrange for places to stay if necessary.
While in Nepal, Lou was deeply moved by the images he saw of children getting to school by crossing rivers on long ropes. He came home with the goal of getting a foot bridge built. In his name, we would like to construct a foot bridge to provide passage to children and villagers in far western Nepal. This bridge can serve as a symbol of friendship, hope and the strong connections Lou made with everyone that stepped into his life.
In lieu of flowers, we would ask that you make donations to support this project. All funds will be matched by the Dhulikhel Rotary Club in Nepal. I will be providing information regarding where funds can be sent at a later date.
If you would like to send something to house, mail can addressed to:
Pam Capozzola
PO Box 604
Westhampton Beach, NY 11978
And packages can be sent to:
Pam Capozzola
77 Oak Street

Also, we are collecting images of Lou to tell his story. Please share whatever you have. Images can be sent to taj.capozzola@gmail.com.
Please share this with friends and family. Thank you all for your kind words and support. It means so much to all of us.
