March 6, 1940 - Gerard Ouimette

A career criminal operating at the upper edges of New England organized crime, Ouimette built his reputation through decades of association with the Patriarca family — one of the most entrenched crime organizations in the northeastern United States. His longevity in that world, and his closeness to its leadership, made him a significant figure in the history of Providence's underworld.
