An interesting story. I delivered a load a Mozzarella and provolone to a warehouse in Jersey.I had a number to call if I ever had any trouble. The warehouse manage told me he didn't order the 12 10 pound balls of provolone. Told me to take them back. I called the number and little man in a 64 impala pulled up and said, I take a care of it. He came came out with a signed bill of lading And said, "Keepa the cheese for your trouble*. I believe it was Frank Tierra.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939878515355963573.post-13611127787010987142020-04-14T08:39:43.937-06:002020-04-14T08:39:43.937-06:00I work for Grande Cheese company and have met John...I work for Grande Cheese company and have met John Candela several times.

He was what he was, but was a terrific business minded person who used his bootlegging $$$ to get into many successful ventures, including Grande Cheese and Reddi Whip. He never used profanity ever, and was quiet but calculating...he was never in jail a day in his life, and made sure everybody was "taken care of" via payoffs to police and politicians. Sorry but that is the business way it was done in Chicago and elsewhere. With the advent of RICO in the late 60's he wound down his dealings and spent alot of time in Florida. He was married to my Grandmother for 60 years. Thanks to her, i was able to attend the 1967 and 68 World series in St Louis, and met Stan Musial....we had a Juke Box and slot machine in our house....they came and changed the records every week....very cool. Coolest Grand dad ever!FAP333https://www.blogger.com/profile/01600776436787853992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939878515355963573.post-38907969534375761382018-11-10T13:42:15.601-07:002018-11-10T13:42:15.601-07:00sorry for misspelled and bad wording

Although you've left out many of the murders connected to Grande and the heroin smuggling, you summed up the Crime Commission report nicely.<br /><br />To clarify, Rose DiBella was John's niece, not sister. Filippo Candela, who took over from DiBella, was his brother-in-law.
