Eddie Junior died a few months ago. It was from natural causes but the kid was only in his 40's. Eddie Sr. is a shell of his former self because of it. No more union, either. He's a cautionary tale.


Ah, that's right. Weren't they ultimately under the auspices of Mario Gigante? I remember John Acropolis, the local's president back in the 1950's, was killed after he butted heads with the Genovese family.

Incidentally, in the past I've come across website,/blog. It rants a lot about Doyle.
