A restaurateur, but not a very good one. He owned a string of burger joints but had to borrow money from his pal, Howard Hughes, which he never paid back. As if that weren't embarrassing enough for his more-or-less politically successful older brother, this younger brother was later involved again with some shady dealings along with Howard Hughes in Central America. To protect himself, the older brother engaged the Secret Service to wiretap this younger brother's phone so he could keep tabs on his whereabouts and his pursuits.
Who is this younger brother?

Yes. I was reading an article about Presidents' family members who had proven to be a "blight in the White House" while their family members were in office. Donald Nixon was one of them.

Known for his great acts of charity, the two charitable organizations he founded are still in operation today 4 centuries later.
On a side note, the local chapter of this man's modern day followers were a great help to me in finding needed resources when caring for my late wife's needs during her final illness.

As a former Catholic, I recognize this man, I think! St. Vincent de Paul.

St Vincent de Paul Society is very active here. Originally from Scranton, PA, he was at one time a 3rd-string quarterback for Penn State U. He served in the US Navy during WWII and was stationed for a time at Great Lakes Naval Station. After the war, he got into the textile business in Chicago. It was believed that he ran the entire Chicago mob or a time. More importantly, he fathered 3 children, all of whom are known nationwide and even worldwide for their own business and political pursuits. ~ attachment removed by original poster ~

His daughter is a politician, as is her husband. Several people around the daughter and SIL have lost their lives, mysteriously.
