There is this pic from him (5+ years ago and was given to me by another poster) possibly taken while watching some sport game and he was skinny as hell, completely white hair and almost didnt look like himself at all.
Could you share that if possible? Would be much appreciated! I am curious to see it.
Also I do believe that Joe was pretty much a CAPO his entire career up to 2006 and he left his legacy and career behind after he was involved in the disappearance of Tony Zizzo. I do believe that was the breaking point that he pretty much retired and decided to just focus on his construction business full time. Then he eventually got sick and eventually moved out to Washington state to live out his final years with his immediate family.
Believe me bro, so many hard disks of mine died since then and I lost many rare pics and files during the process. Maybe we can find it with a simple google search?!
As for Joe's positions, I personally believe that he reached his highest point during the time when DiFronzo had to give his boss position to Monteleone, meaning it is possible that Andriacchi took the number two position, mainly because the Elmwood Park and the Cicero-South Side crews were the most powerful at the time (both the Chi Heights/Indiana and North Side crews were extinct at by that time, followed by the imprisoned Aiuppa/Carlisi/Marcello leadership or the Cicero/MP crew). Some sources say that previously there was allegedly some type of conflict and DiFronzo kept the peace by making Monteleone the new boss.
