Joey the Clown Lombardo dead at 90

[SolarSolano]

Aren't Andriacchi and Lombardo cousins (Joey West and Joey East)? I believe so.

I didnt mention that on purpose since I wasnt sure regarding the details of their close relationship

[Snakes]

I have heard the same but I've also heard (maybe from Fosco's old site) that they actually aren't cousins, so who knows.

I think it was his wife, her last name is Nigro and I think Andriacchi is related to her. It's on this site somewhere

James Cerone, William Daddano Jr. and William “Billy” Galioto have been listed as members on other lists on here. Are they made?


Also I think it was posted on here that Nick Guzzino was dead. Not positive though.

James Cerone is dead. Bill Daddano, Jr. was specifically identified as not being a member by the FBI. I have never seen Galioto identified as a member by the FBI or the CCC.

As far as I know, Nick Guzzino is still alive although not active.

Was James Cerone a cousin of Jack Cerone? Was he the son of that older guy I saw listed in a couple books named "Skippy" Cerone?

[Snakes]

He was Cerone's cousin and Skippy's brother.

Thanks for the info. So this Cerone wasn't made either?

Maybe somebody has better information, but I never saw him listed anywhere as being made. It is really difficult to determine who was considered actually "made" in the Outfit. There isn't a lot of information about it. There is also the theory that guys were considered made by their position within the Outfit even though they never actually went through a "Ceremony" like in New York. It's definitely not a clear cut situation like back East.
If push came to shove, I would say no. he seemed to be like some type of Associate because of his relation to Jack Cerone.

Id say detroit is more viable than chicago at this point based on membership numbers and a more identifiable leadership.

You guys with the Buffalo and Detroit more viable than Chicago kill me. As quiet as the Outfit has been, they still have more indictments than Buffalo and Detroit put together in the last 10 years.

Jack and Frank were recognized as members...I also highly doubt that James was made but you never tell for sure lol

[Snakes]

I've seen James listed as made.

I don't want this thread to turn into the same old rehashed "which families are viable and which aren't" or "what constitutes made or not made." Let's try and keep the discussion about Joey, there are separate threads for everything else.

Do you remember how they actually convicted Joey Lombardo for that murder in 1974? I think I remember that the Prosecution actually somehow tied him to the murder through some kind of physical evidence. It might have been a fingerprint he left somewhere?
