I feel like John Gotti could've, and should've, forgiven John Favara for the accidental death of his son Frank. This to me is one of the low points in Gotti's career in the mob, the guy was deeply remorseful and tried to make amends, and had children of his own. I don't think it solved anything, other than showing everyone what can happen if you kill the son of a Mafioso, accident or not.
Gotti knew it was an accident. If he thought it was malicious Favara would have been whacked in March of 1980. It was a combination of his wife pestering him mainly combined with Favara''s actions that finally led to his murder over 3 months later
