I was referring to John Manca is my post.

James Epolitto aka Jimmy the Clam was made and there was a dispute with his son James Eppolito Jr aka Jim Jimmy, the drug dispute has been out their for years, but a stronger story is that Jim Jim wanted a piece of Nino Gaggi union cut. They drove to a meeting where Big Paul was supposed to be, during that drive Jimmy the Clam sensed something was wrong and asked to pull the car over. Roy DiMeo shot both Epolittos.
