Does anybody have much information on him? I managed to find this link but I was wondering how accurate it was because I have failed to find anything else online about him. Thanks.
Makes you think. Makes you think about the people in your life. And when I think, I think of Neil. If he were here now what would he say? He would say "John what's it about? What's life about... if you dont go through it as a man's man?". He'd say "Suck it up, take the fall do the time. That made you what you are. That makes you what you are. How long have we been around this thing of ours? This Cosa Nostra? 120 years. What's it about? It's about the rules, perimeters. You take the beating for a friend, you don't run, you don't lay down, you don't betray who you are. What you are.

Bonomo was very loyal to the family. He was a loyalist to Joe Bonanno during the Bonanno War. He was well respected in the family, but was never an offical capo as far as I know. He did serve as an acting capo in the late 70's, Galante promoted him to official capo during this time, but he always felt that Rastelli was still the offical boss of the family and continued to report to the real capo of the crew Salvo. He was close to many capo's at this time in the family, he was close to Phil Giaconne. Sometime after the three capo's were murdered in 1981, Joe Massino stripped Bonomo of his associates, and they were tranfered to the Gambino crime family. Massino said this was on Rastelli's orders, but Bonomo thought Phil had nothing to do with this and believed that Massino was really behind the move to curry favor with John Gotti, a rising star in the Gambino crime family at the time. After that Bonomo retired from the family.
