He died protecting the things he loved; freedom, family. He will be remembered for his great sense of humor, his stories, and his love and friendship. He was an honest man, a leader for his family, and a loving son. We look forward to seeing him in heaven.

Capra's published obitituary notice said he was a native of Denver whose home was Indian Head, Md. The Fresno Bee reported that records checks indicated at one time he may have lived with a relative in Hanford. Capra's father, Tony, was an airman, and three of Capra's siblings followed their brother into the Air Force.

1 memory of Anthony

Tony called me "Dozer". Before I had realized it, the rest of the flight was calling me that name too. I had the honor and privilege to be deployed with him as the flight's Personnel NCO. No, I'm not an EOD tech, but they made me feel a part of the family. Tony stood out to me because he was kind-hearted and always liked to have fun. He always wore a smile. One particular habit I noticed of his was that he sat on the floor very comfortably, Indian style, and I can't help but to think that it's probably because he had 5 children. He must have loved to play with them alot and wrestle with them on the floor. I had lunch with him one day and to my surprise, he bought one of the employee's bow-tie for $20 and wore it around shop and took pictures with it in his ABUs. He was hilarious! He definitely stood out and had a big impact on me. I'll miss him very much.
