Since this month is Organized Crime: The Chicago Outfit month, I decided my first post would be a bit personal, so to speak. It is about Ernest Rocco “Rocky” Infelise. Or, as I knew him, Uncle Rocky (when I was a little girl). I have read a lot about him, but none of those things tell the story of the man I knew. I remember him fondly, as a my uncle, who always had a dollar and a hug for my sister and I. We had no idea “who” he was or what he did for a living, nor did we care.
Note from blog owner:
Hi. A reporter is working on a project about Rocky. If any of you knew him and want to participate, please email me and I will send the info to you. I tried to email some, but everything came back to me. Thanks!
