I was wondering this, too. Are the tributes the same?

Pizza good to see you posting again, I hope all is well my friend. Truly missed your postings Thanks, buddy. Just very busy with my Dad's therapy. Eldercare isn't for the weak. Caring for an aging parent is one of the biggest challenges you'll face in your entire life. But thanks again .

But if its a guy that the family put in charge of shylock or some other racket then the family probably feels some responsibility to help him out. Very infrequently. Angelo Prisco, one of the most powerful Westside skippers ever, is doing life at Coleman and his family's broke. Rudy Santobello, another monster skipper with the Westside died broke two years ago. But while he was inside in the late '90s his family got squat. I could list fifty more guys, but I'm just using the more "famous" names so you can grasp what I was trying to say. If heavyweights like that weren't compensated in prison, what chance does Joe Schmo have? Point being, it's your job to make sure you have a stash for your family to eat. If you're a boss it's a different story. And if you're a gazillonaire like a Ponte or a Franco, where you don't even have your button, your family can feed themselves. It's just like any other job. You have to save money, especially today where one RICO trial can cost you 500k in legal fees.

Pizza , my thoughts and prayers . I'm dreading the day I go through the same thing with my parents, my father is already 62. My father could be your father's father. He'll be 86 in November. But time flies, and the older you get the faster it goes. To me, 1985 feels like about an hour ago. But thanks again, buddy .

Up until then he lived a very healthy life. I pray this is the way I will leave my family ;-) However I had to care for my Mother in her years after Dad died. God bless you and your family. First our parents take care of us then we take care of them.

Thanks PB! I heard years ago even Manna had someone collecting on his book Are you telling me that Manna still has action on the street in 2015? Even though he has been in the can for decades? I am going to assume that Fiumara was his collector up until his death. Now I really wonder if Scarfo Sr. still has anyone collecting for him?

Doubt it today
I'm talking late 90s , early 2000s I heard this , could be just a neighborhood rumor Bobby Manna? True to this day. But he's the exception, not the rule. And he has one of the heaviest and reliable guys in your area babysitting that book. In my opinion he might be THE biggest earner doing life. Bigger than Persico. Genie comes home to big money in a couple years, assuming he makes it. He's not that old but I hear he looks terrible lately. But again, these guys are the exception, not the rule.

Very impressive , that crew is just a monster , so well diversified They don't call them the Ivy League for nothing. But like I said, poor Angelo ran part of that crew while he was Bronx based and living in Yonkers. And Rudy ran the Arthur Avenue crew for years with Joe D. Angelo's family is on their own, Rudy died broke, but Joe D left behind so much cash that you'd have to weigh it to count it. There are guys who care more about the prestige than the money. I hate to say it because I love him like an Uncle, but Angelo was one of those guys. Rudy, too. Point being, even the Ivy League will leave your family out in the cold if you don't plan ahead.
