Vince Isoldi of Pittsburgh
I remember about 10 years ago this guy had a tv show on a&e where he owned a restaurant or a titty bar or something. It insinuated that he was a member or had LCN connections. Was he anybody or related to anyone that was involved.

Re: Vince Isoldi of Pittsburgh
The only LCN connection he had as far as I know was that his father-in-law was Adolph "Junior" Williams who was a Pittsburgh numbers racketeer.

I remember that show, Godfather of Pittsburgh. It was entertaining, didn’t believe any of the mafia undertones that it had.
Didn’t his father in law and his brother have a big gambling operation?

Indeed... He ran it with his brothers Sal and Eugene if I recall. I'm unsure though if he was directly under the Pittsburgh family or independent given that he came up under the tutelage of Tony Grosso. I also once read that Genovese provided muscle for the Williams operation.FriendofHenry wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 6:08 amJunior was a BIG numbers guy!trafficante wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 7:20 pm The only LCN connection he had as far as I know was that his father-in-law was Adolph "Junior" Williams who was a Pittsburgh numbers racketeer.

I believe but I don't keep track of who lives or dies other that the guys I knew and they're all gone

Adolfo “Junior” Williams (Surname is Gugliemetti)
Junior took over half of Tony Grosso’s operation but reported directly to Chucky Porter then Mike Genovese. He was a “high ranking” associate along with his brothers Salvatore & Eugene. His sisters were also numbers runners for the organization.
Junior is still the chief suspect of the Bobby Mancini murder which was in the late 70’s or the 1980’s. They even referenced it on the show.
