Later, Blackie was shot in the head because the late Alderisio "ordered the hit from the grave", meaning these guys either killed Blackie with Alderisio's "ok" before he died, or they killed him for completely different reason. I also think Blackie was Harry Aleman's first hit.

Another guy was Black Joe Amato who in turn was a capo or maybe crew boss for the Outfits McHenry and DuPage counties, first under the jurisdiction of the Daddono crew and later under the Buccieri group. In fact, by 1976/77 old man Black Joe relinquished most of his ops from those same areas which were inherited by the Buccieris, same as his crew members such as Solly D who in turn joined Torello, Ferriola and LaPietra. Also, the infamos "Mob's Last Supper" pic was found during a raid on Black Joe's home and later he was the only made guy at Accardos funeral in 1992.


Yes, I've heard of him.
