Felix, Irwin or Joe
When Emma Seifert gave birth to a boy in May 1970, her husband, Daniel Seifert, gave her three choices for names.
At the time, Daniel Seifert was in the fiberglass business.
His investors included mobbed-up bail bondsman Irwin Weiner and mob boss Felix “Milwaukee Phil” Alderisio.
His factory manager was Joseph “Joey the Clown” Lombardo, who Daniel Seifert was close friends with. Irwin Weiner came to Daniel and Emma Seifert’s wedding.
Emma Seifert testified Thursday that her husband gave her a choice of three names for their newborn.
“One was Felix,” she testified. “One was Irwin. One was Joseph.”
She settled on Joseph
What is her problem. If you sleep with dogs you come up with fleas. She could name her child anything. She is the mom and the nurses ask the mom for names of the babies. I think after being a cold case, more angels were introduced than you can imagine. Just sit in a restaurant and have the media bug you day in and out. I knew Joey as a neighbor and he was a regular guy that wanted to enjoy the neighborhood. The best pizza in the world was on North Avenue and 25th at Rocky's. My girlfriend even thought he was cute in the 1960s. We didn't ask what do you do for a living--she is now a divorced red hot mama
