Daniel William Caprio

Dan was a graduate of Florida Southern and the U.S. Army War College.

He served in the Army, retiring as a Colonel in 1983. A soldier for life, he was awarded both the Meritorious Service Medal and the Department of the Army Decoration for Meritorious Civilian Service.

Dan was a diehard Cubs fan and greatly enjoyed golfing with his sons. A lifelong student and teacher, he loved working in the church and with Christian Schools. He was a member of the Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, where he served as a founding member of William & Mary’s Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) Chapter, and acted as an Elder and Greeter.

Dan was a friend to everyone he met, but he had a special closeness with Dr. Soueidan. The family would like to thank him for his faithful and compassionate care.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Carolyn Caprio; sons, Daniel W. Caprio Jr. (Nancy), Freddie B. Caprio (Rebecca); grandchildren, Claire, David, Audrey, Benjamin, Fred (Annie), Eliza, and Sarah Massey (Michael); great-grandchildren, Charles Daniel Caprio and Shea, Julian, and Jordan Massey; and brother, Alex Caprio. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Marie; and brothers, Geoffrey and Vincent.

A memorial service will be held at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, 1677 Jamestown Rd, on Sunday at 3:00pm on August 22, 2021 with a reception to follow. Interment will be held at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Dan’s honor to the RUF or the Missions Committee care of Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church. Online condolences may be shared at www.nelsenwilliamsburg.com.
