Frank Caprio, who was known as “America’s nicest judge,” will be laid to rest on Friday.

Caprio died last week at the age of 88.

A public remembrance and visitation will be held Thursday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Rhode Island Convention Center in downtown Providence. Organizers say there will be two lines: one for paying respects to Caprio and one for paying respects and greeting his family.

For those attending, there will be complimentary three-hour parking available in the North Garage, and Providence Place is also offering free parking in the mall garage from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.
