Here is a post he left talking about him being an old associate of the Chicago Outfit.

My good friend Big Tuna's vacation home in Florida, although I had invites to visit when he was there I chose to stay out of Florida and stay in the Mid West, it was a Sicilian thing and I had kin in Chicago in Geno Bonanno but no one really knows of the blood Bonanno's but Famiglia & men such as Tony Accardo who was always a close hidden partner of the Old Man and his Syndicate, why they where untouchables even by the Law. Knew Big Tuna well personally from our first meet in 1976 which I was 20 to the last in 1992 at 36, one unique Man but he wished he had been born to a different Lot, hard life in the 20s and 30s but he obviously prospered. I worked for him with some small rackets I ran in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
