PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Funeral arrangements have been announced for Frank Caprio. Caprio, who served as a judge for the Providence Municipal Court for almost 40 years, died last week. He was 88.

A longtime municipal judge, he became a social media star for “Caught in Providence,” which viewers said showed his compassion in the courtroom.

He was 88. "Judge Frank Caprio passed away peacefully at the age of 88 after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer," the family wrote on Facebook. "In his honor, may we each strive to bring a little more compassion into the world – just as he did every day."
