Joe Lima lived in Brooklyn Heights so it was not uncommon for him to associate with many of these men, he grew up for awhile in Cobble Hill and Downtown Brooklyn. Before the Falcones moved to Utica, their father Tony was associated with Joe Morello family and both Salvatore and Joe lives in Cobble Hill and was associated with Salvatore D'Aquila family.
Yes, I do know that the Falcone brothers as well as certain of their membership, like John Melito, had close relationships to the Anastasia Family (the former D'Aquila/Mangano Family) before him.
