Cool Pictures Ivy.. keep em Coming..

That's awesome IL, it's really good to be able to put some faces to these names. I tried this myself once but was pretty unsuccessful at trying to find photos of people so well done and thanks.

Is Anthony 'Sonny' Ciccone related to Madonna or not?

Dead ringer for Butch DeConcini out of The Sopranos.

Ivy, That's a great collection of photos. Thanks for sharing. Many of these guys look so fat like they are about to have a heart attack.

These pictures were incredible. Thanks for doing this back then Ivey. Thanks for taking time to do this.

Who is the guy with John Gotti in this picture?

^ jojo corrozo

Thanks.

Heh. I seen later pictures of him and I never made the connection that it was the same guy.



He got very bloated looking.

Something about his face in all those press photos of Gotti in the 80's annoys me.

I always was confused on the relationship between the Gotti's and the Corrozo's...some reports say there was rift and some say they were close

I know Jojo sent him a christmas card in jail and Vicki didnt

Tony T looks like Richard Gere and Jeff Goldblum's lovechild.

Who's Vivki? You mean Nick.

Did Tough Tony die recently? I know Punchy did. He keeps his prized homing pigeons atop the restaurant. He was charged with something a few years back for shooting at a hawk trying to bother his pigeons. LOL

This infamous picture of him is very strange. I wonder if he was having a spray tan put on when they kicked his door in or maybe had an allergic out break from eating shellfish when he was out with his goombahs eating meatballs.

Cheech that's a funny jailhouse video to watch when Gotti mentions he got a card from JOJO and then start crusing at his nephew saying "I dont give a fuck u come see me ,everybody want to come see me!

Jesus christ, look at Anthony Croce and tell me if thats not Joe Pesci 10 years from now. Hilarious

Salerno - one of many examples of gangsters who look better when they are older.

Funny how some people's looks actually benefit from old age.

I obviously can't post it here but there is a picture of a moustached Vic Amuso and his family as his daughter Victoria's Facebook profile picture.

Then why are you telling us then? I'm assuming it's public since you can see it ..I'm sure someone here can find it and post it.

I thought it would be a no no to post someone's picture off Facebook without their prior consent.

The mods can remove this if necessary..
