Heh. I seen later pictures of him and I never made the connection that it was the same guy.
He got very bloated looking.
Something about his face in all those press photos of Gotti in the 80's annoys me.
This infamous picture of him is very strange. I wonder if he was having a spray tan put on when they kicked his door in or maybe had an allergic out break from eating shellfish when he was out with his goombahs eating meatballs.
I always was confused on the relationship between the Gotti's and the Corrozo's...some reports say there was rift and some say they were close
I know Jojo sent him a christmas card in jail and Vicki didnt
Cheech that's a funny jailhouse video to watch when Gotti mentions he got a card from JOJO and then start crusing at his nephew saying "I dont give a fuck u come see me ,everybody want to come see me!
