I'm reading wiseguy and it talks about his sons Lenny, Pauly Jr, and a few others. I looked them up and couldn't find anything. does anyone have any info on them and if they're still alive?

Very hard to keep a track of all the Varios. Paul Vario had three brothers. A lot of Pauls, Peters and Lennys in that family. But Peter "Butch" died in 1991, Vito S. "Tuddy" Vario died in 1988. Don´t know which of the Vario brothers was the father of "Butch" and "Tuddy" though. Paul Vario´s son "Little Paulie" is still alive, I believe. Two other Peters, nicknamed "Rugsy" and "Jocko" are still alive (I believe). There is also a Thomas Vario, involved in that life, but don´t know much about him.

are the ones who are still alive involved in the mob?

found a article about thomas

Yeah Nicky I always wondered that. Mobsters always say they don't want their kids in and some do. Was wondering if the older group like Paul wanted his kids in or not.

Nice find. And yeah, I believe thay are still involved.

i know that paul vario jr was the oen who double dated with henry hill when he first met his wife karen

Nice JCrusher! I guess that was artistic license in Goodfellas that Pesci's character's date wanted a date for her friend.

That was Tommy no...

Nope is reality it was paulie jr. In movies sometimes they combine certain characters because they cant fit everybody in

My mistake i was thinking you was talking of the film..

no problem i should have clarified it better

I know one of Paul's sons, Leonard, died in a car crash in 1973.

The New York Times has it the article, but you have to buy it. You can see a partial version here:Leonard Death

It gives limited access to it, but I go to college which may have a subscription to the New York Times via microfilm, so maybe I can print information out on Paul Vario, Jimmy Burke, Henry Hill or Lufthansa Robbery.

thanks lefty!

His is son in the movie? The mafia cop Lou "No Dick" Eppilotio was in it I don't know what part thoughn

In the scene at the Bamboo Lounge, where all the guys are introduced, he is shown quickly as 'Fat Andy' I beleive.
