The active relationship between Johnny DiFronzo and Cicero and/or 26th Street died when Apes died. At the time of his death, Apes (who was also closely aligned with Cicero) was the underboss of the entire Outfit. Frank Jr. personally told me that Johnny DiFronzo stopped sending his regards to his incarcerated father upon the death of Apes.  When Apes passed away there was no more meaningful or necessary connection anymore, and the Outfit split, if that’s what you want to call it. Magnafichi maintained a relationship with some now-top Cicero guys (who frequented his watering holes) because they were his players when he still oversaw a solvent office. Magnafichi certainly knows Casey and is acquainted with (but not close with) Toots through the Cicero people. By the way, just because Johnny and Joey A. have nothing to do with Cicero anymore doesn’t mean other Elmwood Park people aren’t at least friendly with them. I have seen Marco meet with a rail-thin Solly DeLaurentis for espresso more than once. In all fairness, though, they are old friends.
