He was a New Jersey 'family' guy operating and living in Brooklyn. He should have stayed in Peterstown, lol. I thought I read either he was getting too powerful, and/or making NYC guys. Supposedly, he had a pretty profitable and powerful crew. Want to say that the pump and dump dude doing time now (Philip Abramo) was under him. IIRC. His son flipped and testified against made guys. He is mentioned in Michael Scars DiLeonardo's testimony, which can be found online. I think the only Brooklyn faction DeCav left on the streets is Danny Annuziata.
