hello skinny..he was with valerio before lou went to the can, joe got close with danny and gammerano, yes i do believe you are correct. it must have been a scary time for joey after his brother got killed, he came in like a true tough guy not knowing if he would be killed also, everyday joe must have said maybe today they call me in and i;m gone..don't forget militto got killed also, sammy was killing his own guys, joe was real lucky.. good thing sammy was pinched ,who knows how many more guys die..just like that nut gas..then they both flip and kill in the court room
