He'd be down by Papa Pasquale with Ronnie Mozzarella & Big Mike Viga and that crew, a tough guy but dumb as a box of rocks. He's no big shot...bottom of the barrel type guy.

Could you explain who/what:
A) Papa Pasquale who/is?
B) big mike Vega is?
C) Ronnie mozzarella is?
D) that crew is?

Thanks

A - Papa Pasquale is a store on 15th ave where quite a few wise guys & neighborhood guys hang out.

B - Big Mike is/was Ronnie's partner. I assume he's also a made Bonanno but I'm not 100% certain. I always figured Ronnie sponsored him because he carried himself like a made guy but seems to me if he wasn't made before Ronnie died they'll straighten him out now to keep control of those businesses.

C - Ronnie Mozzarella Carlucci who recently died was a Bonanno soldier & huge earner. Owned Lioni Latticini an extremely successful cheese company whose store fronts are on same block as Papa Pasquale.

D - What I mean by 'that crew' is the guys who hang out on that block. Ronnie was the king over there and he'd have some guys around him that are involved but also plenty of regular neighborhood guys.

Anthony Cigars happened to be one of them who would hang out there pretty often. I never really knew him but I met him a couple times when I stopped by to go to Romeo Brothers which is another store on that block.

Great info. Thanks Johnny

Awesome insight once again. George is the nephew of deceased/suspected informant Carmine Lombardozzi, correct?

Yes. Daniel Marino is his cousin.
