Giacinto Gorga

That was the name of the father of RHONJ Teresa Giudice.

If you google his name with or without "obituary," you won't find one. Five pages of "Teresa Giudice's father dies."

The man wasn't allowed to be honored or memorialized in his own right.

While I didn't personally know him, he ran a decent shoe repair business in Interstate Shopping Center in Ramsey, NJ (where I grew up) for more than a decade.

No obit. No date of birth, no date of death, no mention of his late wife, no mention of siblings, no mention of what he did, where he came from, where he ended up.

Because it's all about Bravo's ratings and anything to keep Giudice's name circulating.
