Hello everyone. I've recently discovered the Milwaukee Mob dialogue from December 02, 2010 in searching the internet. It had a chart of current members according to the person who posted the information. I saw the same chart on another site called The Street Gangs Forum. Unfortunately, some of the guys mentioned were never in the mob and a few don't even exist. Especially a person named Ricco "The Killer" Bono. I grew up in the Brady St. neighborhood which was once known as Little Italy, and I went to school with some of the guys listed on that chart. Although I've never been involved with organized crime and do not admire the mob I'm very aware of who was mobbed up in my city. I no longer live in Wisconsin but keep in contact with some of the old crowd. Some were never in the mob either but a lot of my old friends were. There's eleven "made men" living, but only seven of these guys are still active. Before Tony Pipito died in 2010, they met once a month at Papa's Social Club, a bar owned by Pipito. I've just made this chart on the current Milwaukee La Cosa Nostra members still living. Believe it or not, they had between 60-65 members in total. If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
