Lombardi was a collector in the Elmwood Park Crew under Willie Messino. After He and Willie had a big falling out, Jack ordered Lombardi to work under Mikey Cataldo. Willie blackballed Lombardi from ever getting made and running a franchise. Lombardo was a juice collector and that was it. The Elmwood Park guys respected him that he went to jail and never said anything, but aside from him being honorable and a good collector, he was very difficult and argumentative. The fact that he disrespected his Boss, Wilie Messino, was never overlooked.
