Who's Almost Who In Knickerbocker Village History: Tony LoBianco

Joe Bruno wrote to us recently

I WAS WATCHING THE MOVIE "THE SEVEN UPS" AND I REMEMBERED THAT TONY LOBIANCO'S UNCLE LIVED IN MY BUILDING, 18 MONROE -- THE K BUILDING. I THINK HIS NAME WAS TONY TOO. THE ACTOR USED TO VISIT HIS UNCLE QUITE OFTEN. THE UNCLE LIVED ON THE GROUND FLOOR, I  THINK. THE UNCLE  ALWAYS USED TO SAY HELLO TO ME. I THINK HE WAS A WIDOWER AND HE SEEMED QUITE LONELY. MAYBE JOE BARONE WOULD REMEMBER MORE ABOUT THIS THAN ME. OR MAYBE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER. THE UNCLE WAS IN HIS 60'S OR 70'S THEN. I THINK HE DIED IN THE LATE 80'S OR EARLY 90'S.
