Next up, will be another racketeer from the State of Illinois. But to change it up a bit, this next fella hailed from the City of Springfield. In fact, he was considered to be a 'soldier' in the Frank Zito Family.
And although documented many times by both local and federal authorities as a racketeer and mafioso, his life and career largely remained a mystery during his years in the mob. He also had a tragic ending...
Coming next week...only at ButtonGuys of The New York Mafia.
My hometown! I drive by Franks old house on Illini Road almost daily.
Looking forward to it.
Good ChiCubs. I'll do my best not to disappoint you. Lol....But I think you'll like this one. Not too much, if anything at all, has ever been written about this mafioso. At least nothing I've ever read.
This was written by a local historical website. Some good stuff.
