THE BLACK HAND FORUM

^^^^ There are three Moretti locations in Montreal. The only one that might be sanctioned is in Griffintown. IMHO, the “type” of patron isn’t the issue. Toronto also has a Moretti location that has been here for close to 5 years: https://pizzeriamoretti.com/toronto/ No problems at the Toronto venue.

^^^^ The obituary mentions daughter-in-law Heather. It also mentions other in-laws. Compare it with the one for Rocco’s brother Antonio that is found at http://baygardens.permavita.com/site/AntonioLuppino.html. The absence of Angelica’s name is either an oversight or an intentional omission. My gues...

Wife of Rocco Luppino has passed away; she is the mother of the murdered Cece Luppino. The DOB in the obituary differs by 1 year from her DOB in the Luppino genealogical chart posted in this forum many times over the years. The chart shows her maiden name as "Gioia." The obituary makes no ...
