RIP Joe Dogs Iannuzzi: A Better-Late-Than-Never Sendoff For The Former South Florida Gambino (Ex-)Wiseguy

Joe Dogs .... The garrulous Joe Dogs Iannuzzi (born June 14, 1931, in Portchester, New York), the little guy with the big New York accent... Joe Dogs..... ....The longtime Gambino associate who apparently fooled a slew of journalists into identifying him as a made member, a soldier, in his life after Cosa Nostra .... who wore a wire right beside his "how do you do"...who called Gambino soldier Tommy Agro TA.. … who was first called Joe Diners because he liked to meet friends in diners.... Who received two Purple Hearts and a Silver Star, the third-highest military combat decoration that can be awarded to a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, for fighting in the Korean war....Who dropped a dime on the Gambino family after his shortsighted best friend--who was notorious for going around with scissors -- and two others tried to beat him to death with baseball bats and their shoes... Joe Dogs passed away on September 20, 2015, at the Kerrville Veterans Administration Me...
