Here’s the challenge.…

The six hoodlums listed below were each connected to NYC-based Families, and each had a nickname relating to food items. Two were with the Gambino Family, and four were with the Bonanno Family. Your job is to identify each man by listing his REAL “first and last name” and match it with the (letter) of his nickname.

Have at it fellas….

A) Joe Strawberry
B) Lemons
C) Ronnie Mozzarella
D) Stevie Beef
E) The Egg
F) Charlie Fish

D) Is Steve Cannone w/ the Bonannos

Thats called a Bingo! Good job, Lou.

B) was Raymond “Lemons” Maresca (Gambino Family, CT. faction)

C) is Bonanno soldier Ronald Carlucci

Thats another Bingo!

Thumbs up, Lou, you're batting 1000 so far.

E) Vincenzo Cotroni - a Canadian Boss ( Cotroni Family - Montreal) with an affiliation with the Bonannos

Excellent Lou. There goes another one. You're knocking these guys down like dominos.

F) Charles "Charlie Fish" Miceli,but I thought he was with the Columbos.
Supposedly he was close to John Gotti Jr.

You're correct. There is a Charlie Fish with the Colombos. But this Charlie Fish is Charles DeBernardo, with the Bonannos. (I knew that. That's why I specified which family to consider.)

Nonetheless, Charlie Miceli's still a respectable pic. lol. That deserves an "honorable mention." lol

The Bonanno thing kind of threw me off.
Ah, you gimme the old razzle-dazzle,ya young whippersnapper. Great quiz, though.

I know. The Fish thing was tricky. lol. But I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Thanks for lettin' me off the "hook" on the Fish.
Guess I couldn't resist the "lure" of the game.

So you think you're a wiseguy and "Ha! Ha! Funny, is that it, Lou? Lol.

This is a clear "violation" of the official "Joke Rules & Regulation Booklet." You got the wrong thread. This response needs our trusty "joke" thread, so you'll be getting a ticket in the mail.

On a more serious note...there's only 1 name left to decipher, that of Joe Strawberry. Any idea on who this could be? He might be the toughest one yet.


PS: And although I realize that with my next statement, that I too, will now be in violation of the Joke Rules & Regulations Booklet, I just can't resist, lol.... "I think with this last guy you, (just like Napoleon) may have just met your "Water Lou." LOL

There is a newspaper article about a Joseph Amoroso aka "Joe Strawberry" that IDs him as a Lepke lieutenant but outside of that and a listing as an unconfirmed member (no family noted) on Bill Feather's site, I wasn't able to find anything further

Bingo! Thats excellent, Joe! You nailed him.

Joe Strawberry was Joseph Amoroso.

Well, it looks like you two guys made short work out of this particular challenge. Lol. Once again, kudos to both you and Lou_Para for a job well done.

I would want my name to be scungili

You got it...from now on, we'll call you Jimmy Scungilli

lol.. not the worst thing I’ve been called!

LOL
