WORLD MOURNS “NICEST JUDGE”—FRANK CAPRIO PASSES AWAY AT 88
THE BELOVED JUDGE FROM “CAUGHT IN PROVIDENCE” DIES AT 88 AFTER HIS FINAL BATTLE WITH CANCER—HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS SAD I didn’t think a judge could feel that much like a neighbor—or worse, a beloved uncle—but Judge Frank Caprio managed to make that human connection. When I heard he passed away at 88 after a brave fight with pancreatic cancer, it felt like losing someone who turned justice into kindness. The man behind “Caught in Providence” was gone, and the world, it seems, had lost some of its warmth. Caprio’s family said he died peacefully after a long battle with cancer.
