Rafaelle "Jimmy Q" Quassarano has been considered one of the Detroit Partnerships Most valued members for years.
Capo-Rafaelle along with now deceased Peter Vitale had close ties with eastcoast mafia members and acted as the Partnerships contacts with the New York underworld.
He was the familys primary narcotic-capo.?
He married the daughter of Sicilian Mob Lord Vittorio "Don Vito" Vitale.Jimmy Q was the Partnerships Consigliere in the late 70s but was forced to giveup the posistion due to a prison sentence.
The Partnership has had alot to do with the Heroin sell/distrubution in the Motorcity,Canada,Northern Ohio,etc as every other house in certain areas in Detroit especially the East or West sides u can score Heroin as easily as buying a pack of smokes and its been that way all my life.They have helped keep it well stocked.
I know The Zerillis such as 1st Partnership Boss Joseph "Uno" Zerilli came from Terrasini,Sicily so i would assume the Toccos,etc did also but i dont know off the top off my head.
Soldier Caesar Badalamenti became one the partnerships top narcotics Capos and was the familys liasion to the local Sicilian underworld-For all accounts i believe he is still alive and paying his dues,I have found nothing saying hes deceased.?
