LP Gas Hall of Fame Inductee – Class of 2017
The late Capps served as a leader and a guide to the propane industry by committing his time and efforts to the National LP-Gas Association (NLPGA) as its executive vice president and general manager in the 1970s and 1980s.
He led activities that helped to modernize the industry during his time with NLPGA. Capps encouraged the use of the term “propane” instead of “LP gas.” He helped to form several committees that are still vital to the National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) today, including the audit committee, the Certified Employee Training Program (CETP) certification committee and the safety committee.
Capps always took member suggestions into consideration and often sought opportunities to implement those ideas.
He is also a recipient of the NPGA Distinguished Service Award.
