They are not in fucking Rockford unfortunately smile


You are correct on a little and dead wriong on a LOT. Joe Pooch was not made, but like may associates in the outfit and virtually every family, associates had crews who kicked up to made guys, such was the case with the crew from the tow shop on Milwaukee Ave, Pooche's crew.
I can NOT beleive you mentioned Infelise and DeLaurentis, Bwhahahahah, those wannabes have NOTHING to do with this discussion. Two dopes who shook down Lingerie shows and sold porn from their trunk
Again, you want to find the guys who used to hang out at the shop and the old Palwaukee motor inn and the Hanger, and collected juice from lake county to Rosemont and from Milwaukee avenue to Il53 who kicked up to Elmwood park? Go to the Saint Ambrosia society in Rockford on any weekend, and watch and learn.Tell em I sent you.
Congrats BTW for not repeating your BS claim Joe was an informant, it was really too ignorant to even say the first time. "What you hear" is laughable Bullshit, please get informed before you reply to me again, I have no patiance for punk ass frauds who know shit...like you

I am very much for real, so if you ask, make sure you really want to know.
