It was La Crossing Nostra.

The 86-year-old man who was decapitated by a truck that plowed into him at a Brooklyn crosswalk is a former acting captain for the Genovese crime family, The Post can exclusively reveal.

Anthony Conigliaro — a one-time mafioso known as “Tony Cakes,” “Tony the Dessert Man,” among other dessert-themed sobriquets — died June 12 in an accidental hit by a city Department of Transportation truck, his lawyers and law-enforcement sources said.

“He spent his life looking over his shoulder but he forgot to look both ways before crossing the street,” one police source said.

Took a lot longer to ghost him than it did John Favara, and that was an accident!

One of the first jobs my dad held was in construction. He worked full time during the day and went to college at night.

When he interviewed for the job, they had him wait in a room until the boss was ready. On the table infront of him was a heaping scattered pile of money. My father thought they were careless to leave it unsecured but didn’t touch a single dollar. About 15 minutes later, the boss and another gentleman came into the room. The boss turns to the other man, the man knods, and the boss announces, “You’re hired.”

They had been watching him the whole time.

Growing up, I had friends with family that you didn’t mess with. No one talked about it; you just knew. Some drunk buffoons started in with one of them and beat him badly (four drunk idiots jumped him, plenty of witnesses).

A few months later, the lead idiot’s house burned down.

And now it’s time for a related story. A merchant once travelled through Prince Vlad Dracula‘s land (Vlad was the inspiration for the modern Dracula character). At the inn the merchant asked where he could keep his chest of silver safe for the night.

Keep it outside in your cart, the merchant was told. No one dares to steal in Prince Dracula‘s land!

Well, the chest was stolen. The thief was apprehended and the chest was recovered. The next day the merchant was invited to watch the thief’s execution by impalement.

Prince Dracula: Please count your silver. I will make up any coins that are missing.

Merchant: All the coins are there. Plus there is one more! But I must ask you something. There are two stakes in the town square. Will there be two executions today?

Prince Dracula: Had you not reported the extra coin, the second stake was for you.

Such a shame, he had a habit of sticking his neck out for others.

His head was found about 20 feet from the body. He spent his whole life looking over his shoulder, now this.
