Is that how you spell it? A geep is an off the boat Italian so geepish used in that context is describing a gaudy house more in the European style. Shit like gold fences, lion statues, fancy awnings and marble like you mentioned. Things normal Americans would never have on or in their homes. I’ve never heard anyone use the word like that but I understand what they’re implying perfectly.

Thanks No direct information on that which is somewhat weird considering Bill Bonanno wrote a couple of books on his life. When he was made, he was basically based out in Arizona before moving back to NY. In one of his books, he does mention Giuseppe Venza as being a crew leader within the Bonanno Family. Venza was based in California so chances are Bill was made under him. That would be my guess. Bill was made a captain in 1959 and headed over a crew of (what appears to be) New York based made men.

I wonder if Nicky Scarfo avenged his son? It was his son Mark. He hung himself when I think he was 16 or 17. His lawyer told him the news and apparently did not even skip a beat. The only ‘avenging’ was Nicky writing to his wife through prison and blamed Mark’s death on her. He survived the attempt no?
