Satriale's Pork Store

Satriale's Pork Store (fictitious) is a meat market in Kearny, New Jersey. The interior walls of the storeroom where Emil "E-Mail" Kolar is murdered by Christopher Moltisanti has black and white framed photographs of classic actors and entertainers, like Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, Edward G. Robinson and Dean Martin, hanging on the walls. These actors were also known to portray anti-hero mob characters and in some cases associated with real mobsters during their careers.

Satriale's Pork Store was initially owned by Mr. Satriale, a Gambling addict who in the early 70s got into debt with Johnny Boy Soprano due to his Gambling. Satriale either refused to pay the debt, or didn't have enough money, causing Johnny Boy Soprano to cut off Satriale's pinky finger whilst Junior Soprano held him down in the backroom of Satriale's Pork Store. The incident was witnessed by a young Tony Soprano, who was supposed to be waiting in the Car outside. A short time later, due to Mr. Satriale being in debt, Johnny Boy Soprano 'partnered' with Mr. Satriale in the Pork Store in the form of a bust out.  By the end of the partnership, Mr. Satriale had died by suicide and Johnny Boy had claimed the ownership of the pork store.

Since Johnny Boy Soprano took over the Pork Store, Satriale's has become a popular hang out for members of the DiMeo Crime Family, particularly the Soprano Crew. When Johnny Soprano died in 1986, he handed the Pork Store over to his son; Tony Soprano, who has owned it ever since. The outside of the Pork Store is normally littered with members of the Soprano Crew, it is occasionally used for Sit downs such as when Johnny Sack had a sit down with Junior Soprano, but the Pork Store if mostly used for social means.

Anthony Bellino

1921 - 2020

Lodi - Anthony was a lifelong Lodi resident. His Sicilian parents settled in Lodi in the early 1900's to live amongst their friends and relatives that also survived the arduous journey across the Atlantic. Born in 1921, he was one of five children and the youngest of three sons. He graduated from Lodi High School in 1938. Like many patriotic Italian Americans, all 3 sons volunteered for service in WWII. His oldest brother, James, served in General Patton's tank division. His brother Frank served in the Marines and participated in the Pacific theater in Saipan. On August 25, 1944, Anthony as a sergeant in the Army, participated in the liberation of Paris. Stationed there until the end of the war, he learned the language and French style cooking. He took deep pride in his wartime contribution. All three sons survived their WWII duty and returned to Lodi to live long and prosperous lives. A lifelong member and past president of both local DAV and VFW chapters. Anthony worked for the Bergen County Department of Weights and Measures and retired in 1991.

The last survivor of a great generation, Anthony is predeceased by his wife Frances. He is survived by these family members that will always honor the memory of a generation that dedicated themselves to provide the wonderful lives we now live; his children: Frank, Louise and her husband Rich; Anthony and his wife Debbie; his grandchildren: Allison, Dana, Christie, Richie, Robbie, Ryan, Kristine, Debbie, Cindy, Heather, Jonathan and Jack; and many beautiful great grandchildren.

Burial will be at St Francis cemetery in Lodi with a memorial service to be planned in the near future. 

FRANK BELLINO

Frank Bellino, age 99, died peacefully in his sleep at his home in Lodi, NJ. The lifelong Lodi resident was the first of three brothers to volunteer for WWII and participated with the Marines in the Pacific Ocean Theater. He was born on November 13, 1918 to Filippo Bellino and Giuseppina Salemi. Frank took advantage of a government education program offered to returning WWII veterans and attended night school, while working full time, to graduate from Rutgers University. After graduating Frank worked for 36 years in the Information Technology department of Bendix. He was instrumental in the design and programming of many of the systems used until and well after his retirement. His favorite memories were holidays spent with his family and his visits to Salerno, Italy. He is survived by his brother, Anthony and nieces and nephews that he loved and supported his whole life.
