Oh I'm sure he existed, but the claim that he replaced Frank Milano and John Scalish replaced Tom is one I've never heard before.

I don't think by "inherited" the CI meant "replaced." Inherited could simply mean that they were sponsors in the Cleveland Family, or something similar.

We know Pete Livcavoli was influential. He seemed to have juice
originally in St. Louis, then Detroit, Ohio, and Arizona. I wonder how much if
any influence Pete had within the Cleveland family, aside from
the control over Jack White.
Well connectons ran deep between the two families , I doubt Pete controlled the Cleveland family outside of some joint ventures and asking for some favors , a few examples of the connections Al Polizi is the one who in A sense arranged jack whites parole , Pete licavoli was the best man at Al's wedding. Moe dalitz was from Detroit and moved to Cleveland ,

also remember when licavoli was getting all the headlines in Tuscon , cleveland irish gangster gameboy miller also set up operations in Tuscon arizona who backed by the cleveland guys.

It makes sense the were close in some ways. 170 miles between the two cities, with Toledo in
the middle of both. Thanks stroccos.

Yeah don't forget about Leo "Lips" Moceri from Detroit that was Jack White's cousin. The very short lived but much too long Underboss for Jack White to run Akron.

He may have been "FROM" Detroit, but at least he went "TO" the Trunk of his car. At least CARS are from Detroit so it is fitting tribute. Good Riddance. A Very hated person in Akron, Ohio.

Al polizzi was convicted of bootleg whiseky sales in 1944 , I believe he got like a year in prison as soon as he was released he moved his family to coral gables FL around 1945. so someone had to be acting boss , We obv know John scalish was the long time boss of the Cleveland mob and oversaw Angelo lonardos making ceremony in the late 40's so he was at least the official boss by 47,48 or 49(late forties )
according to angelo lonardo he said when he got made John Scalish was the boss , Tony MIlano Underboss and John Demarco was the Consigliere

from what I gather from the statement by The informent , he believes Tom scalish was acting boss until he died 47 then John Scalish took over as acting boss and then evetually became the offical boss.

here is the is A picture of his Lincoln , that he took his last ride in
Leo Lips also lived in Barberton in the 40's for a few years when he was on the lame for those murders in Toledo. He worked in A gambling operation. Then I believe he went to California until caught,
when jack white was on the lame I think it was in the 30's he was stashed in south Euclid ( A suburb not to far from Clevelands Little Italy,) and lived with one of the family members of the d'agostino's for awhile who were very close to the Milanos and highly respected on the hill.
When Yonnie licavoli was arrested for the jack kennedy murder he was in Akron Ohio, He was trying to set up a deal to back a local racketeer with his gangs muscle , so they could get back in the rackets. that was in the 30's ,

A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac. It's a better automobile.

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.
