did not know he has passed away as well.

He also owned a bar in the 2000s on the East Side in the city on First Avenue. He was the Decavalcantes biggest Loan Shark. Many years ago Miranda robbed another wiseguy and Sam the Plumber spoke up for him at a sit-down and saved his life.

After the FBI secured indictment after indictment on the DeCavalcantes in the early 2000s Miranda went from a longtime Soldier to Acting Boss. He was running the family with Francesco Guarraci ever since the early to mid 2000s, now they're both dead...

Last post, Miranda it always seemed to me was always one of the New York DeCavalcantes. I've never heard about him having any Jersey operations besides living there, he owned a bar on the East Side in the city, and the only Jersey thing to me he ever had was being the Acting Boss of the DeCavalcantes.

On a side note, it saddens me that the greatest generation of Americans are dying off day by day. Sadly, pretty soon we will have zero members of the greatest generation of Americans ever who served in WWII, grew up in the great depression, and helped shape America in the 50s and 60s into the greatest country in the World and #1 World Super Power. I'm 31 and grew up as a child having that generation around, hearing the great stories....

Dante- great post my friend.. Im the same age as u and I totally agree bout how sad it is the greatest generation is dying off.. WW2 vets are all heroes and the best our country ever produced.. My gpop was at DDay on Utah Beach and served under Gen Patton at the Bulge got half his ear blown off and had schrapnel coming out of his body well into the 1960s..dont make em like that anymore and idk bout u but our generation is full of whiney pc pussies thatd make my gpop hurl..but i digress

So now that Mirandas dead and Guarraci has anything come out whos running the Decavs? I havent seen anything.. Is it possible its a ruling panel?.. I honestly have no clue whos even a senior ranking capo in that fam.. Any insight fellas?

A lot of top guys have died in that family in last few years

P
Great post cuz

He worked for the Brinks Company? Are they talking about the Cash and home security company? I completely agree about the greatest generation. Lets hope the new generation of veterans can do the same for our children and grandchildren, God knows we need it.
