Thanks barber, I actually think there are a couple of Joe Yerardi's, maybe cousins? The famous Joey Y is the one we're talking about who was with Winter Hill I think. This other guy lived recently in Cohasset and I think went away for a couple of years for tax evasion involving his trucking companies in Dedham and Waltham. I'm not sure how many mobsters have the same name that weren't father and son. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of Yerardi's. I thought there was a 'Billy Y' back in the day who died years ago that was a legbreaker.
