The News 12 New Jersey staff is remembering a colleague and friend, photojournalist John “Cap” Capriotti, who lost his battle with cancer.

Capriotti worked at News 12 for the past 25 years.

He died Tuesday after a brief battle with liver cancer. He was 57 years old.

Those who worked with Capriotti knew him to be kind, funny and talented.

News 12 offers condolences to his partner Nancy, their dog and all who had the honor of knowing him.

He was sharp, witty and a joy to be around – and his talent elevated all of News 12 as a unit.
