Pucciarello served for years as a lookout for his cousin and waterfront crime boss Tino Fiumara. Pucciarello became Fiumara's New Jersey eyes and ears in 2005 when the powerhouse capo moved to Long Island following his release from prison for waterfront-related crimes. Muzzy was a member of Tino's "Lodi Crew" and was among the select group of pals who toasted Fiumara at a private birthday party in 2009, a year before his death.
