Lubrano born in 1970 so I doub the son is a made man or an associate.
Anyway i found this on internet.

John Pennisi - “while at a Lucchese family wake in 2012, a Lucchese member told Johnny Joe Jr the Lucchese family would no longer recognize Bonanno boss Michael “Mikey Nose” Mancuso. Specifically, former acting boss Mathew “Matty” Madonna stated, ” We do not recognize a boss who is in the \[can\] prison.” Further, Madonna insinuated Mancuso was a “Rat” because of a letter he wrote the ex-wife of Joseph “Joey Relay” Lubrano, a Lucchese caporegime. Mancuso, prior to incarceration had been dating the woman. A very attractive woman who at the time of the wake started dating Lucchese associate, Joseph “Joey Cupcakes” Urgitano – who brought the so-called (jail mail) to Madonna. Unbeknownst was the content of the letter but Madonna felt it was enough to suggest the Bonanno \[borgata\] take Mancuso down from his position as boss. A suggestion taken as an insult and ignored.”

There was a bit of a dispute between Matthew Madonna who was the Acting Boss of the Lucchese Family from 2009 until 2017 and Michael Mancuso who is the current boss of the Bonanno Family.Madonna refused to recognise Mancuso so the Bonanno’s stormed a social club in the Bronx which belonged to Steven Crea (Underboss) this led to a screaming match between members of the Lucchese and Bonanno Families.The Bonanno members were armed.John Pennisi said that if this happened back in the day it would have most likely led to war.Crea actually put a hit out on one of the Bonanno associates who stormed the club.
