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
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 family

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.

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.

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
