one of the previous post refs luigi manocchio the former BOSS of the patriarca family still holding sway over parts of the org.
i wonder what role a former boss has in a family after he has been replaced(not a common occurence i know).
i was just reading an article about paul sciacca onetime boss of the bonannos and saw that he died in 1986.sciacca stepped down as boss in 1971 i think did some jail time but doesn't appear he served in any role in the 80's but soldier.
manocchio was to dog for over a decade and seems odd he wouldn't still command respect and a kick up from someone.

what kind of allies do the boston/providence mafia groups have w/ other OC groups in the area. do they work w/ latin drug gangs or outlaw MCs who r the connections if any?
