Just google the correct spelling of his name comes right up also old news articles of arrests as well. The spelling put in articles like GR is wrong

Well, there's 91 and there's 91. Some guys are done at 70, and then other guys I guess are like Sonny Franzese lol.

His info is on the genealogy sites like Ancestry and Familysearch. That's how I was able to state that he was fully Polish and gre up at Walton and Noble.

Yes we are correct. Born in 1928 as you stated
Yes born in 1928 so contemporary to Johnny DiFronzo and Legs D'Antonio, Lombardo (the latter born 1929). This is why I think it's likely that he might have known some of these guys already from way back if he went to Wells HS.
Thought you said he was in his 70’s
No, I didn't. You got your wires crossed somewhere. I stated that a third party from the neighborhood told me that they saw Porky sometime in the last several years by the Huron SAC. They also noted that he was very old.
My bad I did get my wires crossed. Apologies
Hey no problem, chief.

Rather if he's in his mid 70s he'd have been around 15 in 1960.

I thought it was interesting on the marcello prison tapes he kept asking about porky. But porky wasn’t involved in any of the hits charged. So who knows how many others were out there

Porky is in his mid 70s and hangs out at a south loop restaurant with one of the guys from the balmoral race track heist. He was there literally everyday before the shutdown.

I thought he was from Bridgeport/Chinatown. That’s where I thought him and Schweihs became acquainted. I could be wrong. As for being feared, he was at one time. Now he can barely walk
Yeah, someone told me they saw him within the last year or two by the Huron SAC as well.
