Joseph Lombardo
Lombardo and his wife, Marion, divorced in 1991, but Lombardo continued to reside in the same condominium building, moving after his divorce to a basement unit. In 2006, federal prosecutors alleged that Lombardo's divorce was a sham to hide money. "If you think it's a sham divorce, investigate it," Lombardo's attorney Rick Halprin told reporters on February 9, 2006.
Joseph Lonardo
Joseph Lonardo's common-law wife, Concetta, accompanied him from Sicily to the United States. Born in Licata about 1888, she later said she and Lonardo lived together as man and wife since 1902 (although they never had a civil or religious ceremony). The couple had five children: Angelo (b. 1911), Antoinette (b. circa 1914), Frank (b. circa 1917), Dominic (b. circa 1921), and Helen (also known as Ella; b. circa 1922). Angelo "Big Ange" Lonardo was later underboss of the Cleveland crime family from 1976 to 1983.
