Photo at Jilly's Saloon in 1977 includes (L-R) Russell Bufalino, Andrew "Andy" Russo, Frank Sinatra, Thomas "Tom" 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'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's brother was probably the driver, Sheeran the lure and the Andretta brothers in charge of disposal. Chuckie O'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'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'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: "It was no more complicated than that."

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

I'm from the area. Why wasn't the meetings at Perkins restaurant with Judge Michael Conahan mentioned? Kids for cash? And that whole FBI setup with the Russian monster abduction?
