According to the link in the text,
three brothers of of "The Oddfather" were actively
in the Mafia.

However, their other brother was
Louis Gigante, the most beloved Catholic Priest
in the history of the Bronx.

He did nothing but help the poor and needy
every day of his Priestly life except
the last three days of October.

That is when the Archdiocese
of New York rewarded him
with a three day trip to Nevada

"Father Gig" would go to Las Vegas
with his friend, "Father Oliverio"
who is no stranger to these pages.

And I am certain my Uncle
got more pretty showgirls
than did Father Gigante
than did Father Gigante
