Vincent 'Vinnie' Caprio, 77 of Red Bank, NJ, passed away quietly on June 25th in Dunedin, FL after a four month battle with heart disease. A lifelong New Jersey resident, Vinnie was born on the 4th of July in Newark and lived in Monmouth County for over 50 years. Vinnie was an outgoing and friendly man whose love and caring service to family, friends and country will be sorely missed. A more spirited man will not likely pass this way again. His lifelong passion as a professional Tax Accountant, Mr. Caprio prepared over 10, 000 business and personal tax returns over the span of his 55 year career. This was where Vinnie worked hard to serve many with his keen understanding of tax regulation and his desire to help his legion of enduring clients. Mr. Caprio graduated from Barringer High School in Newark, NJ in 1949. Staying in touch with his classmates for the past 60 years, he attended all his High School reunions. Mr. Caprio served in the NJ National Guard from 1950-1951 and then in the United States Army during the Korean War from 1952-1954. He was a Disabled American Veteran. Following his tour in the service, Mr. Caprio graduated from Seton Hall University in 1955 with a BS in Accounting. From 1955-1965 Mr. Caprio served as a Revenue Agent for the Internal Revenue Service out of the Newark Office. From 1966-1982, he served as an Accountant/Budget Officer for the US Army at Fort Monmouth, NJ. Mr. Caprio returned to school to earn his Masters in Public Accounting from Fairleigh Dickinson University in May 1977. After his 30 years of US government service, Mr. Caprio taught at Brookdale Community College, Kean College and The College of Financial Planning. He was very proud to have counseled several students who went on to become CPAs and Tax Attorneys from his Intro to Accounting Courses. Vinnie loved life and the outdoors, in particular: skiing, sailing, fishing and attending sporting events, right up until late in his life. The Yankees were his favorite team. Vinnie was a Master Mason and a member of the Livingston Lodge No. 11 and also a member of Salaam Shriners, Livingston, NJ. Family was central to Vinnie's life - a devoted father, grandfather, brother and son. He was a loving father to Vincent Caprio, Jr. and Joy Caprio Ressani.

Daniel Caprio who served as a guiding religious and spiritual influence. Vinnie was predeceased by an older brother Ralph G. Caprio, Jr. who he considered a mentor, by his father Ralph G.
