Do anyone know about Joseph Adonis son; Joseph Doto Jr?

Joseph Doto Jr was born in 1933 so it's possible that he is still alive.

He was apart of the Genovese NJ faction and a made guy. His father Joseph Adonis was a powerful member of the original Luciano family until he got deported.

Anyone know about Joseph Doto Jr? There's some newspaper articles on him being indicted in several cases in NJ.

I find it strange to he left his family in NJ.

If I'm not mistaken, Joe Adonis was so powerful in the Luciano family that even Vito Genovese feared him. He has more power then a captain.

I agree he would have been the boss if they didn't deport him, in Italy he was more succesful and wealthy as Lucky.

I read about the son arrests, but no idea what happened to him.

Mike Miranda, Joseph Magliocco, Joe Adonis, Tommy Lucchese, Joe Profaci, Willie Moretti, the Fischetti brothers they were a powerful bunch lol..

That's a powerful group.

Tommy Lucchese and Joe Profaci hated each-other.

Where did their hate of eachother come from?

Also shouldn't Joe Profaci be senior to Tommy Lucchese since he (Profaci) was Boss of his family before the 1931 commission?

Thanks for letting me know.

Any idea when he was made? 1950's? Or when the books opened in the mid to late 1970's?

It is possible as kid, like Thomas Gambino, he could have met the originals as a child. Did anyone find out if Adonis Jr. is still alive?

@Captbony1999

I was told he died in 1993. It's likely possible he could have met some of the originals as a child an a adult. He was a adult in the 1950's before his dad got deported.
