Joey Peparelli*
During the infighting amongst the Lupertazzi crime family, Joey and Billy Leotardo killed Lupertazzi shylock Lorraine Calluzzo, for kicking up money to Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. instead of John. Little Carmine's associates Angelo Garepe and Rusty Millio hired Angelo's old prison buddy Tony Blundetto to whack Joey as payback for Lorraine's death, as her and little Carmine were cousins. When ordering his death, Rusty referred to him as "a friend of a friend (John), not a friend of ours" assuring Blundetto that Peparelli was not a made man yet. Joey was killed by Tony B. when he was leaving a brothel in New York. He was confronted by Tony who was waiting for him outside. After being shot to death along with a prostitute inside his car, Joey's foot falls on the gas pedal and rolls the 2000 Lincoln Town Car over Blundetto's foot, giving him a compact fracture. After his murder, Johnny told Tony Soprano that he was very fond of him and therefore he was a target for Little Carmine's people to get at John as payback for Lorraine's death. At Joey's funeral, Tony and John are aghast that Tony’s crew had a formal headstone carved with the name "Peeps," instead of Joey's actual last name Peparelli. After his death, Little Paulie Germani talked about it with the crew at the Bada Bing and explained that his brains were blown out in the car. Paulie Gualtieri jokes that there probably wasn’t that much, as he didn’t think he had any brains.
a grave mistake**
A grave mistake is a mistake that is likely to produce great harm or danger. It is a mistake that is caused by bad judgment or a disregard of rule or principle. It is a mistake that can have very serious consequences.
Tony Soprano***
Anthony John Soprano Sr. is a fictional character and the protagonist of the HBO crime drama television series The Sopranos and portrayed by James Gandolfini. Soprano is a member of the Italian American Mafia and, especially later in the series, acts as the ruthless boss of the fictional North Jersey DiMeo crime family (later called the Soprano family). Usually referred to as Tony, the character was conceived by Soprano's creator and showrunner David Chase, who was also largely responsible for the character's story arc throughout the show's six seasons. Tony's character is loosely based on stories from and about an assortment of La Cosa Nostra figures and especially on real-life New Jersey mobsters Ruggerio "Richie the Boot" Boiardo, boss of the North Jersey Genovese crime family, and Vincent "Vinny Ocean" Palermo, a former caporegime and de facto boss of the DeCavalcante crime family.
