It was just confirmed by his nephew Tony that Junior passed. He took over Tony Grosso's numbers business with his brothers and Robert "Bobby I" Iannelli. Rest in peace Junior.

Post by Lou_Para »

Adolph "Junior" Williams,longtime Pittsburgh gambling boss, has died at the age of 82. Junior, along with his brothers Sal and Eugene ran a numbers book in the East end of Pittsburgh under Tony Grosso. When Grosso went to prison,they took over the whole business with permission from Mike Genovese,the local Mafia Boss.

Who do you know of that he was suspected in other hits? He had a brutal reputation in his early days.

beautiful area as for the godfather or Pittsburgh I have no idea who gave that idiot a tv show or why he's just a half ass crook who runs some titty bars... I believe one is in McKeesport. Mckeesport used to be a nice hard working neighborhood but now you def don't want to go three unarmed .. That's in the day time... At night you better be carrying a 9mm or 45 with a 15 round clip and one in the chamber nothing less will do. Very rough area. But the ol "godfather" was known to try and make people believe he was the mob in Pittsburgh bc of his Italian heritage. He is a straight up joke.

Besides Mancini,Junior Williams was suspected in two other gambling related killings in the McKees Rocks area.

1) 1979 street commissioner James Goodnight (after plowing the streets of snow). Someone had laced his whiskey bottle, which he always carried in his truck, with enough cyanide to kill 70 people.

2) In July 1987, retired McKees Rocks police officer Martin T. Fitzpatrick died after he was tied to the bumper of a vehicle and dragged several blocks. This happened in the Rocks "Bottoms",and if I remember correctly,it occurred on Helen St. This was where the Coffee Pot restaurant was located and that place was a major gambling spot.
The "official" story was that Marty had hit the number for some serious money and ran his mouth ,and he was killed for the money.

As a side note, about seven years after his murder,Bobby's brother Anthony got himself beat to death at Pittsburgh Steak Company in the South side.
This didn't really have anything to do with gambling,but just him being a cardboard tough guy. He did some small time bookmaking,but was pretty much a punk.

One of the other guys at that card game was Inky Alberts...who was very close to Junior. Could have Junior been getting retribution for being sucker punched by Tony a few days after Bobby was killed?

An old friend told me last year that he thought Bobby I was the Man. I have no idea.
