This has been done to death but I know there are some newer posters here. Giancana's power base had been almost completely eradicated since he had left for Mexico. Even those who managed to last past the death of Giancana weren't assured of gaining favor with the new regime.

Giancana hoped to still rule the Outfit by proxy, even from Mexico, but those hopes were dashed as Sam Battaglia was jailed within a year of taking over. He would die in prison in 1973. Fiore Buccieri was plagued by health problems for the last few years of his life and was incapable of even standing trial, let alone take over as boss. He would die of lung cancer in 1973. Fiore's brother, Frank, had moved to Palm Springs and essentially removed himself from direct Outfit activities.

Willie Daddano and Phil Alderisio were both powerful Outfit figures but they would both be indicted in the late sixties and end up dying in prison; Alderisio in 1971 and Daddano in 1975.

Paul Ricca managed to last until 1972 but failing health finally removed him from the picture, leaving the Outfit in the hands of Accardo and Aiuppa.

Sam DeStefano, sadistic torturer/murderer and juice loan boss, would be shotgunned in his own garage in 1973. He was a Giancana/Ricca loyalist and probably viewed as too unpredictable in the eyes of Aiuppa/Accardo and was deemed expendable.

Frank Ferraro, gambling boss in Chicago's loop section, had died of cancer in 1964.

Others had been spared and were instead shuffled out of the picture to die quiet, unassuming natural deaths in the 1970's and early 80's. These included Rocky DeGrazia, Rocco Potenza, and James Mirro. Joey Glimco battled legal troubles for more than two decades before dying largely unnoticed in 1991.

Marshal Caifano spent the better part of three decades in jail. He would die in 2003 at age 92, although he had long before lost any influence in the Outfit. Rocco Pranno and Joe Amabile would also be convicted in the early seventies and die in prison.

Chuck Nicoletti actually retained much of his power even after Giancana left for Mexico, but continued grumbling over the Aiuppa/Cerone leadership presumably led to his murder in 1977. John Roselli would likewise be murdered in 1976, although he had been removed from Outfit affairs for quite some time. Chuck English lasted longer than most of the Giancana loyalists but became somewhat of a pariah in Outfit circles and was eventually murdered in 1985.

Some of the Taylor Street crew members were too young to have built a true semblance of loyalty towards Giancana; men like Joe Ferriola, Angelo LaPietra, Joey Lombardo, and Turk Torello were thus rewarded positions of leadership in the new Aiuppa/Cerone regime.

Really the only two men who were hard line, old-school Taylor Street guys who managed to last into the 1980's were Butch Blasi and Skids Caruso. Both had been 42'ers with Giancana back in their younger days. Skids Caruso had quietly run gambling in Chinatown for many years and would do so until his death in 1983. Blasi, despite initially serving Giancana in Mexico, eventually pledged his allegiance to Aiuppa and Cerone and perhaps solidified it by murdering Giancana. Blasi would die in 1993, essentially the last of the old Taylor Street powerbase to still hold respect in Outfit circles.
