    Photo at Jilly&apos;s Saloon in 1977 includes (L-R) Russell Bufalino, Andrew &quot;Andy&quot; Russo, Frank Sinatra, Thomas &quot;Tom&quot; DiBella and I believe Tony Bennett. Still not sure who is on the far right (often cropped out of this photo in other online versions).

    As a bartender in the 70&apos;s at Mount Airy Lodge in Mount Airy, Pennsylvania I served Don Bufalino on a couple of occasions. He was a quiet man with a warm smile and a great tipper. As to Hoffa, after 50 years of seriously investigating the case, without any doubt I believe that Sally Bugs pulled the trigger, Giacalone&apos;s brother was probably the driver, Sheeran the lure and the Andretta brothers in charge of disposal. Chuckie O&apos;Brian was on the outs with Jimmy at that time, so more than likely was not even present or knew much about it. Although Sheeran&apos;s book is flawed in many places, he did not kill Joey Gallo or Sal Briguglio, I do believe that Frank Sheeran did get Jimmy&apos;s ending correct. He was more than likely, taken to a nearby funeral pallor owned by Mob associates and cremated. <br>As in the movie, when DeNiro playing as Frank Sheeran, says: &quot;It was no more complicated than that.&quot;

    Thank you for uploading it.... &nbsp; I am from the Western part of PA. &nbsp; &nbsp;We had the LaRocca and Mannarino families. &nbsp; They mostly were into gambling. &nbsp;If you paid your debts nobody bothered you.

    I&apos;m from the area. Why wasn&apos;t the meetings at Perkins restaurant with Judge Michael Conahan mentioned? Kids for cash? And that whole FBI setup with the Russian monster abduction?
