The social club was on francis lewis blvd too. Always thought who the fuck had a club all the way out there? Auburndale? Wonder if it was a Bonanno club

Gotta bring up the Ralph Coppola murder. One of the most bizarre in modern times. What happened here? Were they going to fry Serpico for it and he died during trial? They essentially got away with it and DeLuca took the blame without really taking the blame or giving clarity on what happened

Some Colombo ones off the top of my head: Joseph Miccio (1994), Carmine “the Gorilla” Gargano (1996), Richie Greaves (1995).

Totally correct! Furio has been told as much, but then again: Furio is Furio :roll:
Its just the way I am,what do I have to tell you? Put up with me. And anyway apart this,what about the chart?
You should know by now that I still "lova' you, but it would be more enjoyable if you paid closer attention to what's being said :)
Once again I agree with Ivan: The worst part of these charts is that they remind some of us of people we actually knew :(
Ok,no more chart.

Alfred "Allie” Calabrese

I'm not sure about his status in the family, but I know for sure that he was close to Joe Loose. He died in prison under mysterious circumstances. In prison, he was hit on the head with an iron rebar and later died while in a coma. If someone knows about, please explain
