I have to agree with Ivy on NO. One of the big problems with the smaller families like Milwakee, KC, St Louis, New Orleans is that they were familys built around the boss, the family was smaller in size and revolved around the bosses immediate family, and the authority of the family is usually maintained in the boss, he has the connections. When the boss dies a lot of the resources the family has dies with the boss. When Marcello died, the son did not have the resources to really keep it going and the crew either dies off or goes someware else. Just my opinion.
Marcello's sons had no reason too either. Their father left them plenty of money and legit property. Millions of dollars worth.
Sammy Gravano talked about how, when the Gambinos and Genovese were looking to get into the video poker business down there back in the early 1990's, they were told there would be no problems. That the Marcellos were "finished" and didn't mean anything there anymore. And that was 20 years ago now.
