OFF THE WIRE
Dear friends,
It saddens me to inform you of the death of lomg-time R.I.M.A. Officer, Carl Ferraro passed away this past Saturday. Carl was very active with R.I.M.A., a staple at their meetings and events and a long-time M.R.F. Supporter. Many will remember Carl's hard work when the BEAST of the EAST was held in 1991 in Providence. Carl was hands on takling care of picking up dignataries from the airport, bringing in local politicians to meet with us and even taking care of vehicles that broke down during those chilly days.
Carl was an original Charter Member of the Hells Angels “PROVIDENCE’and was very special to every member of Providence. His passing is a great loss to the Hells Angels
World, as his old school ways, and traditions will never be forgotten in Rhode Island. A special thanks to all brothers from all over the world for the outpouring of support to the club during this difficult time. Our love and respect to all of you always.

A wake will be held on Friday, November 26th, at Nardolillos Funeral Home on Park Avenue in Cranston, Rhode Island from 4-9 PM.

Carl will be laid to Rest on Saturday with all the Honor and Respect of a Hells Angel Burial. On Saturday, there will be a service at the Funeral Home at 11:00 am. After the services, we will be heading toward St. Anns Cemetary in Cranston for Carl's burial.

RI Hells Angels leader Ferraro dead
Longtime president of biker club dies Saturday


Tim White
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - The longtime leader of the Rhode Island chapter of the Hells Angels motorcycle club has died, the Target 12 Investigators have learned.
Carl C. Ferraro, 57 – president of the notorious biker gang in Rhode Island for more than a decade – died on Saturday at Rhode Island Hospital, according to sources. Details surrounding his death have not been released, but Target 12 has learned it is not considered suspicious.
Law enforcement sources said Ferraro was hospitalized after being involved in a single-car accident in Johnston last month. Ferraro, who was driving a car, was said to have lost control of his vehicle. It was not immediately clear if the injuries he sustained in the accident led to his death.
Ferraro, of Providence, is not expressly named as its leader by the club – organizations like the Hells Angels do not advertise their hierarchy – but he has been identified as the president by law enforcement.
Ferraro was arrested in a 1990 raid of the group’s Providence clubhouse, where guns and dynamite were seized.
A source with direct knowledge of the death said law enforcement “would do well” to prepare for a large influx of bikers to descend on Rhode Island when Ferraro is laid to rest.
