Great catch Cavita. Someone says Bruno Caruso as the top photo with family after what looks like a graduation/church event. Does not look like a Caruso to me but could be wrong.

Second photo from the last is Lenny Patrick. This one was making the rounds recently on FB.

One of the informants from Chicago Streets and Sanitation who helped the government in the Hired Truck Scandal 20 years ago. I was told he returned to his neighborhood in Bridgeport after prison and was shunned until he moved out of Chicago. Recently passed away.

Wow well that answered my question. Mike and his son look almost identical at the same age.
