Beloved TV judge Frank Caprio, known worldwide for Caught in Providence, has passed away at 88. Behind the cameras, he built a life filled with love, family, and faith.
At the heart of his story was Joyce, his wife of more than 60 years. Together, they raised five children, welcomed seven grandchildren, and cherished two great-grandchildren. “My beautiful wife, our children, and the memories we’ve built together are my greatest treasures,” Frank once shared.
Caprio often gave fans glimpses of his private life, posting tributes to Joyce on birthdays, anniversaries, and Mother’s Day. His words reflected the deep gratitude he held for family, even as he battled cancer with courage and optimism. “I’m fully prepared to fight as hard as I can,” he told supporters.
Admired for his kindness and fairness, he was lovingly called “The Nicest Judge in the World.” His legacy lives on not only in law and television but also in the compassion he inspired across generations.
How will you remember Judge Caprio—his courtroom wisdom, or the love he carried home?
