Beloved Rhode Island Judge Frank Caprio has died after a cancer diagnosis, according to posts on his popular social media pages.
Relatives confirmed his death to NBC affiliate WJAR on Wednesday, a day after he'd asked followers from a hospital bed for their prayers.
"Unfortunately I've had a setback, I'm back in the hospital now and I'm coming to you again asking you to remember me in your prayers once more," Caprio said, referring to a previous bout with pancreatic cancer.
Gov. Dan McKee ordered that Rhode Island flags fly at half-staff through the day of his interment, calling Caprio a "treasure" who connected with people as "a symbol of empathy on the bench, showing us what is possible when justice is tempered with humanity."
Caprio earned the nickname "the nicest judge in the world" for his years on the Emmy-nominated show "Caught in Providence" and his presence on social media, where he had millions of followers.

I’ve seen a lot of videos of his rulings. Seemed like a really good dude.

Found this in the comment section of one of his videos.
It was from five years ago, but I hope it played out like this.
St Peter: Are you Judge Caprio?
Caprio: Yes, sir.
St Peter: Your case is dismissed. Step through.

That makes me sad. He seemed like a great man.

I have to say I have never heard of him, but after watching that video I could tell he was a very good man. RIP Judge.
