abstract	"Tickie" Saia was reportedly born in New Orleans and grew up in North Baton Rouge. He became a prominent member of the New Orleans mafia and lieutenant of Carlos Marcello. Tickie attended Louisiana State University, where he lettered in track, basketball, and football. Saia had his base of operations in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which was mostly due to his uncle, Sam Saia. Along with his charming personality, he was known to be a wealthy businessman involved in electrical contracting in Baton Rouge and was a political and sports figure. He was a close friend of state Senators, a member of the State Licensing Board for contractors and a former adviser of the Federal small business Administration. In 1968, he was named "Louisiana's outstanding small businessman". Through his influence in the Federal small business Administration, Saia helped to get almost a million dollars or more approved in loans to Marcello family connected businesses. Saia was "outted" as a mob lieutenant in September 1969, when he was arrested in a raid on a New Orleans syndicate gambling operation at the Royal Coach Inn in Houston, Texas along with fellow Louisiana mobster Frank Caracci. During a subsequent search, police found a sizable number of bet slips and records on Saia himself. Police analysis of Saia's phone records also revealed he was in contact with gambling and La Cosa Nostra mafia figures from coast to coast as well as political and sports figures considered to be personal friends of Saia's. In April 1970, Saia was also featured in a Life Magazine article linking him and Carlos Marcello to many political figures, including judges and ranking policemen. After said accusations, Frank "Tickie" Saia became one of the most respected businessmen in Baton Rouge. His knack for business and his family's increasing finesse in electrical energering plans gained him much respect. His eldest nephew, Frank, now controls the business from a professional electrical engineering point of view. His company has become the most well-respected commercial electrical engineering company in South Louisiana. Frank Saia reportedly died of natural causes in 1996.. He was surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren at the time of death. His funeral was so large that it extended outside a very large local Catholic Church in Baton Rouge. Frank "Tickie" Saia still has left a very close, loving family of 2 children, 5 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren [[Catego
