Donald McGonagle
Bobby McGonagle
Paul McGonagle
[From article]
When Whitey Bulger’s moll Catherine Greig was married, her last name was McGonagle.
She had a brother-in-law named Donald McGonagle — Whitey murdered him in 1969.
She had another brother-in-law named Paulie McGonagle — Whitey murdered him in 1974.
Her husband’s name was Bobby McGonagle. He was a Boston firefighter. He died before Whitey got around to murdering him.
Then there was her younger brother, David. Whitey took a shine to the lad, wanted him in the gang, but David Greig kept nodding off at the sit-downs. Whitey diagnosed his malady as a “vitamin deficiency.” Vitamin P — for Percocets. Greig ended up with a bullet in his head down on Cape Cod. The gun was a little far away from the body, but it was the 1980s — the Bulger decade. Verdict: suicide.
So, you can see why Catherine Greig fell so hard for Whitey. She liked “the bad boys,” as she once told her hairdresser, and what could be badder than running around with the guy who wiped out almost your entire family?
[. . .]
Gone, everything gone. From prison, Whitey has claimed that Catherine was the love of his life, but he had barely arrived at the Tucson lockup before he was making goo-goo eyes at the local BOP skirts. Which is why he was put on the bus to Florida. Even in prison, he’s livin’ here, lovin’ there, lyin’ in between.
One last thing. At Whitey’s sentencing, Greig’s late husband’s nephew Sean McGonagle, Paulie’s son, delivered a victim-impact statement about the murder of his father, who Whitey buried on Tenean Beach. Calling Whitey “Satan,” McGonagle spoke directly to his father’s killer:
“You stooped to an all-time low when you called my house. I answered. You told me, ‘Your father’s not coming home for Christmas.’ When I asked, ‘Who is this?’ you answered, ‘Santa Claus.’ ”
