Son of former Colombo family mob boss now delivers pizza for Brooklyn pizzeria
He's a mob prince and a pauper.
In yet another sign of the decline of the Mafia, the son of the boss of the beleaguered Colombo crime family is delivering pies for a Brooklyn pizzeria, the Daily News has learned.
Ex-con Lawrence Persico, 60, the son of Carmine (the Snake) Persico, was observed making deliveries for Mia’s Pizza Shop on 13th Ave. in Dyker Heights on a busy Friday evening this month.
Lawyer Mathew Mari, who is representing Carmine Persico in a motion to reduce his sentence, insisted that Lawrence does not actually work at the pizzeria.
larry has mental illness his whole life, druggie since a young guy.. he has never been involved in CN biz..shame he is a nice guy..these writers want to shame him for being straight.should everyone who delivers food be embarrassed ..scumbag news paper.
He was an Associate. Got busted in the early 2000s for labor racketeering in construction. Doesn't sound like he is still involved if he is actually deliverying pizzas but you never know. It could all be a front.

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.
Hello Pogo , they got him a job. he got paid for not showing up.. many guys did that.what the G does with a big name is make him much more than what they did and are..I knew larry ,younger than me but has major issues, if you go way back he got a guy killed for stabbing him in a bar fight..larry was wrong two drug sharing guys..but larrys father was JR..

Couldn't agree more. What a fucked article.
Making him out to be a joke for doing a honest job.
It's not hard enough being a 60yr old delivering pizza's but you have it splashed across the paper like you're an embarrassment? Trying to earn a living as an ex con isn't hard enough that we now shame the poor pricks who try and stay straight for working at one of the few jobs they can actually get?
And in two fucking seconds with his contacts he couldn't be involved in the family biz making real dollars.
And this is how he's treated.
Shame in the paper, not him.
Pogo if you do not want my input let me know..i do not read news papers..did you or anyone else have info on his stabbing..so prove it did not happen..if it did then i know... give you a hint late 70s very early 80s. the guy that was murdered name was john. should help you research the news papers.if you prove me wrong ill never post here again..good fortune

You're talking about the John Grimaldi murder, but so what? I've heard about it and I've never set foot in New York. Gravano talked about it in his book 20 years ago.

didn't know that, never read gravano's book..what did he say about who did it and why? sammy was banging his sister for years. that I'm sure that is in there..that is what the people that do or did not live in ny do not realize and not a complaint on my end..but we did not research ..we can walk out our door in the morning and by days end we all knew the street rumors and events. that was our research .who got made a day or two ago who got killed and most times who did it, that was the 60s 70s 80s in the bronx bklyn and the rest of the city i know it is hard for the posters who never lived here to wrap their arms around how we grew up..so why is it when someone gives info , some jump on them ,saying b.s. or no way you can know so much..i am not alone knowing this just i am one guy on these forums..hy for 25 years girls would know who got made the same night.lol..
My intention wasn't to pile on, just to point out the absurdity. He was talking down to Pogo by vaguely mentioning the John Grimaldi murder like it's some big mystery, meanwhile the details are a Google search away. But he 'never read gravano's book' so I guess he wasn't aware of that beforehand.
Thank you Sonny, i see east bronx does not post any more,do you know why/ if it was for this reason ,shame on these guys or girls, that guy knew what he was posting about. i do not know him never met him, never want to meet him, better it stays that way.he knew a lot and am sure he does not want to out himself..but we lost a great source.either way. Sonny , we been following each others opinions and input for a long time now, i think you know i do not offer info on things i know zero about, ill leave that to the people who do and learn from them..if they try to shut down guys like e.b. and others maybe they should just keep reading books, then call the rats that wrote them liars..because all rats lie, they never tell the truth.so do we have fbi agents on here that go on the record or capeci who gets his info third and fourth hand ,he is good most of the time..but i think capeci was never made..so all these outlets by which we gather info is more credible than people who lived or live in these areas are not when they have decades of street knowledge.if they choose to challenge ..do so..just try not to be condescending about people trying to advance this site and others..thanks again Sonny

if i give info i am to assume every body knows or read all mob books, how is that talking down.? you believe me that i did not read same book ,thanks.. does it say , why john was killed or who were the shooters? if someone on here can help with that info please do..maybe i can tell you if it was not articulated by sam. how about where the guy was stabbed...if it is not in the book ill tell you..JD i speak down to know one on a computer key board, ill save that for those types..years ago we would call them telephone tough guys, now key board tough guys..not my style .
EB has taken a timeout from posting due to a heart attack he suffered some months ago. He´s fine now. I hope he will be back because as I have said earlier, he is one of very few "street guy posters" I consider to be fully legit. He has not been chased away from here.
A forum like this needs to have posters from both spectrums in order to be interesting. We need street guys as much as we need the researchers. If one spectrum of the posters are skepital of the other, they need to prove them wrong before allegations starts flying. Until then, please try to respect eachother´s opinions and info. I doubt Solai´s intention for this forum was to have only posters from one end of the spectrum.
I hate to get involved in this feud. Mostly because I respect all of you. So I have no intention of leaning on one side or the other. At the end of the day, posters from both sides of the spectrum do have atleast one thing in common; both are passing information that has gone through third and fourth hand.
