Joe Gallo was hated by many of his fellow mafia members and associates, he double crossed Joe Columbo, talked to the media all the time and even gave interviews openly (The same people who say Gotti was guilty of talking to the media love Gallo despite this fact) and seemed to always in a feud. His brothers seem to the ones respected. Gotti barley spoke to reporters aside from a quick comment, Gallo gave long interviews and hung out with them. His brother and others did a brave thing saving that family from the fire. A lot of men criticize the mafia or wise guys would stand there with a thumb up their butt screaming for the fire department, the Gallo crew (Minus Joe) took action and saved lives. Joe seems to have been a creep, the rest of them who knows for certain.
