Summer of 1978 – The year after Greene’s murder, his former Westside Irish mob, known amongst themselves as “The Celtic Club,” was merged into Licavoli’s Eastside Italian mafia.

To this day, Charlie the Crab’s remains have never been unearthed. Strollo rose to become capo of the Pittsburgh crew in “The Valley” before turning witness-for-the-government in the late 1990s.

January 4, 1981 – Cleveland mafia associate David Perrier is found dead in a ditch in Trumbull County, Ohio. Perrier was Cleveland mobster Thomas (Tommy the Chinaman) Sinito’s bodyguard and collector in the Mahoning Valley.

I must admit that Furio posted some really good stuff However Joey Naples was not a "mob hit" engineered by Lenny Strollo.
Joey was shot by a local bank robber, one of the best in the country, to gain favor with Lenny. This was not ordered by Lenny!

Yeah furio nice breakdown
Mike roman wasn't a mob hit , he muscled up on a few homies and got his ass shot

[Ivan]

Great breakdown, Furio! I presume that Strollo's mini-rampage in 1996 isn't included because those were internal Pittsburgh matters?

Anyone think that there's any truth to the rumor that Allie Calabrese's death was actually the last hit, possibly ordered by Loose?

I don't buy it, personally. I think he probably just pissed off the wrong guy in jail.

Speaking of this, I read it before (forgot though, what was the killer's name?), but am still wondering: what did he think when taking out such a character as Joey Naples without authorization, just hoping that "maybe" Lenny would thank him for the "nice surprise"? I mean, the mafia doesn't like unsanctioned hits on their members, no matter what the reason, even if the killer is one of their own too. The Genovese family was perfectly ok with Caponigro hitting Bruno for example, they encouraged it, yet for the sake of "protocol" then they made an "example" of Caponigro by torturing him to death, so much for the "reward". So is it really 100% sure information that no "big guy" in the mob ordered it, if not Lenny, then somebody else? Just wondering.

There is a great list of all the OC related murders in Cleveland-Ohio during the 70s-80s period in the 25 Years After Valachi book. From what I remember it puts Philly during the same period to shame.

Wow, this makes me even prouder to be an Ohioan.

Seriously though, looking at that list, it's about on par with Philly from the Chicken Man through Frankie Flowers, but in a much smaller family, so if you "adjust" for the size difference, then yes this is much "worse" than Philly in that era.

The Naples/Carabbia war especially was pretty effing nasty.

No one, repeat no one, ordered the hit on Joey. It was strictly done to gain favor with Lenny!
