Statement from Speaker Shekarchi on the passing of Judge Frank Caprio
|
“I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of legendary Judge Frank Caprio, who was known everywhere for his compassion and good humor on the bench and was beloved by Rhode Islanders and worldwide fans of his show, Caught in Providence. Judge Caprio utilized his position for the greater good and helped countless individuals who appeared before him to turn their lives around. His community involvement and charitable endeavors extended far beyond his role in the court; he generously gave of his time and resources to so many worthy causes. His 88 years of service to Providence and the entire state have made Rhode Island a better place.
"I extend my condolences to his wonderful family: his wife Joyce and their five children: former General Treasurer Frank T. Caprio, former State Representative David Caprio, John, Paul and Marissa.”
