To friends and family, Joe Zammuto was a soft-spoken grandfather who was jealously protective of his family. But, in reality, he was actually an important midwest mafioso and the decades-long “Capo Familia” over the entire Rockford Family of Cosa Nostra.
FBI Agents claimed that despite his demure outward appearance and grandfatherly demeanor, Zammuto remained Rockford’s underworld leader for upwards of three decades since 1957.
