New Jersey marriage records show that DeNoble married a woman named I.H. Chang in December 1972. To earn extra money, Alphonso would allegedly often dress up as a priest and hang around cemeteries. Elderly widows would ask "Father Alphonso" for a blessing and offer him a donation for the church in return. Director Joel M. Reed said that Alphonso shot himself after an incident of him getting stuck in a turnstile due to his weight appeared in the papers.
