No, he wasn't with anyone. But that was Prisco's stronghold back then. His club was in Westchester Square, but he was strong all over Pelham Bay and Throggs Neck.

As far as being "with" anyone, again, no. He was honestly just the type of peripheral hanger-on that I normally can't stand. You know, a bartender who works in a wiseguy joint, so he thinks he's half a wiseguy himself. Or a fucking garbage man who thinks he's a wiseguy because he wears his Teamsters jacket wherever the fuck he goes. These are guys who typically get hurt when they run into real wiseguys and run their mouths off.

But again, Angelo stuck up for him a couple times because he used to play his dance at the Marina every year. It was a harder ticket than a Yankee playoff game. But my family and I went every year he had it wink smile.
