Joe Saunders was a well liked, would be in his social club 7 days a week. Not a night life guy. Loved motorcycles. Definitely a man’s man, took a 15yr plea at 68yrs old & heard that during his plea he had to admit doing crimes for the Bonnano crime family & he insisted he would only say for the Massino crime familyB. wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2024 9:59 am Very sorry about the loss, Frank. You're a good man.
And to those wondering, his relatives and family friends were members of the Sicilian faction of the Bonannos and he knew a ton of other people in that Family. He's a straight shooter and 100% reputable.
I think people would be interested in hearing more about the Cammaranos. What kind of reputation did Joe Sr. have and did you have much interaction with him when you were around the Grimaldis?
Thank you

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

Very sorry for your loss, Ridgewood. Hope you're otherwise doing well.

Frank F? From the giannini crew? I listen to your interviews on youtube. I find them genuine. Thanks for posting here.

Ridgewood, if you don’t mind me asking how far back did you know these guys? 70s 80s?

Did you ever hear of Giuseppe/Joe Bosco? Little is known about him but appears to have risen to acting boss around 2011 if I remember right

Interesting info, thanks for sharing. John Pennisi said when he was on the street he met Bosco and that he was on the shelf at the time, so it looks like he did end up getting shelved.Ridgewood 79 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 10:52 am I heard the plumber began to shift towards other paisans of mine got made and then got big headed without ever squashing a grape ( typical of late Bloomer's and nepo babies) I believe he got shelved ( I'm not 100 percent remember I wasn't around since 2004 and dont know much about anything after that ( thats Bernstein forte )

Yeah he looked the type ( Joe) that could come out douchy giving the opportunity I do know he was pissing a few people off I remember during a seasonal card game my uncle would send myself and Joe to go around other gambling joints or cafes they needed to be closed while we were operating ( a baccarat game) and he seemed like he enjoyed that type of authority (who knows) I do remember beating someone's ass in front of him and he kinda seemed shook ( it was spontaneous I'll give him that) but yeah there's guys that shit don't faze them and guys that I guess do
Re: 52 wiseguy s in a year!
Thanks frank. Can you talk a little bit about ace aiello. How did he get hooked up with the bronx guys. Thanks and appreciate you posting. I literally listen to you on the way to work like its a radio show or something. Hard to explain. I like how you tell a story.
