My understanding is that Carabbia isn't even made. And ongoing local gambling busts without LCN involvement is one of the surest signs that a family is finished or nearly so. Structure means a lot as far as a family still existing. It's one of the two basic criteria for an ongoing criminal enterprise. However, as we've seen in Pittsburgh and Kansas City, for example, individual LCN members and associates can still run gambling operations with there being no real formally structured family left.
The ages need updating but these are the living made members I have seen.
1. William "Billy" DeNova/71 2. William "Billy D" Dileno/75 3. Joseph "Joe Loose" Iacobacci/62 4. Ronald Lucarelli Jr/53 5. John Oliverio/59 6. Russell Papalardo/70 7. Anthony Velotta/70
I've also seen these names floated from time to time but I don't think any are made. Ages also need updating. Some may have died.
Edward Angelucci Ralph "Bosie" Bucci/62 Ronald "Ronnie Crab" Carabbia/83 John Ciarello Eugene "The Animal" Ciasullo/82 John Cirelli Paul Cirricullo James Comella Samuel Lucarelli John Massimiani/47 Nicholas "Nick" Nardi/85 Paul Perrotti Salvatore "Sam" Sirna Thomas Zingale/84
Members who have died since 2000 include John Iorillo and Pater Sanzo in 2010 and Joseph Gallo in 2013.
Carabbia got buttoned while in prison and they took excellent care of his wife Josephine because they were afraid he would talk. Carabbia was Tony DelSanter's hand chosen successor to the Warren/Niles (Trumbull County) rackets.
As Uncle Charlie used to say, "Never get into pissing matches with skunks."
