neil dellacroce was one intriguing figure. he was a guy who could have been boss easliy if he used forced but he was a mafia loyalist. The only mistake he made was helping John gotti rise to the top. I think most people would agree that without dellacroce Gotti would have never been made. In a sense he inadvertanetly killed the gambino family by helping Gotti become a powerful figure.
