Louie had to straighten him out so that wouldn't happen, but he's still not a gangster. Knows how to make money, yes, but not a gangster. Look, his juice came from Louie, and also the family he married into. Louie is gone, Paul is gone, thats it, he's walking around with a button in name only. If i had to guess, that button wouldn't even be recognized outside new England


I think there's a thread on here alluding to his button. Wasn't Gerard the guy placed in Fall River way back when? If so, those were some big shoes to fill that Joe wouldn't be able to.


If Gerard was there back in the day, I have no idea, that was before my time. I was around lmid to late 90s, early 2000s , he had just moved out there when I was around. From what I understand gerard was a south providence/Elmwood ave guy, before it turned into Santo Domingo, but again, before my time
