I'm surprised no one on here has posted or had anything to say about the recent death of the DeCavalcantes boss Frank Guarraci, I posted his obituary below:

http://mobileobits.nj.com/obituaries/sta...mp;preview=True

Oh wow. Young guy, I wonder who replaces him.

How is it that no in the press knew about this or reported it for 10 days?

He's the boss of the DeCavalcantes. Not exactly the host of the Tonight Show.

Who does that leave at the top? Whoever the Gambinos say?

Damn that is crazy.. Wasn't even old and heard he was real old school no bullshit.. Family was already a mess.. Without him at the top I really don't know who's going to step up.. The west side and luch's jersey crews are really gonna take over everything in nj now

Charlie big ears may finally get his day in the big seat

He was acting boss if I'm not mistaken.

Majuri is looking like he is in terrible fucking health.. And I know he was In the hospital last year or so.. I dunno if anyone has seen him recently he really isn't looking too well at all.

Wonder how many young guys they have.. Young meaning under 50. The only one I know about is mimo

Yeah Ralphie_cifaretto but the decavalcante are the soprano inspiration so after that Riggi dead and short after at 61 y also die Guarraci for me look strange. In the obituary isnt said how is dead ? Illnesses for sure or a bullett so the gambinos and Luccheses can that control of the family ?

I'm from an area of Jersey that has a major DeCavalcante presence, the other day I was hearing possibly Majuri but couldn't confirm it.

They have a big group of young guy Jersey guys who want to be gangsters because they watched the Sopranos selling Coke and bookmaking, most of them associates. Look at the recent bust last year of the Toms River area crew, mostly guys in their 20s and 30s...

Don't forget that Joseph Miranda is still around and at the age of 91 was helping Francesco "Milk" Guarraci run the family....

Any info on the death causes?

who is the underboss?

plenty of young guys around the deacvs they dont have to worry about finding young guys


we have no idea who will take over we dont really know the hierarchy we know Frank Guarraci was the boss and from the Stagno indictment Frank Nigro was the consgliere. There is little news reported on this family they have fallen under the shadow of New York. For all we know Majuri has been inactive for years.

If I had to guess I would say big ears is the boss or is gonna be , sure I read somewhere last year that Charlie Majuri saying he'd kill Riggi if he doesn't step down after his release could tell us something about the rumors a year ago about Majuri supposedly taking the top spot

Cancer.

I might be wrong here, but I think I remember reading an article a while back that said the Decavalcantes were supplying drugs to college campuses in NJ- Rutgers, Seton Hall etc.

Is that still going on or did it not happen in the first place?

Scott's article on situation and a correction (Scott: it's Jimmy Gumps Palermo and he's been dead for a few years now)

http://gangsterreport.com/another-one-bi...umbs-to-cancer/

Here's Jimmy Gumps obituary:

http://m.legacy.com/obituaries/app/obitu...p;preview=false

He was based out of the Ortley Beach section of Toms River, I won't mention the restaurant because his children run it now and they're not involved in the life and they're amazing people that I personally know....

So Riggi had 90,Guarraci 61 and majuri 76. So in decavalcante the young men had if lucky 50-60 y ?

Majuri is in bad health, Nigro is in prison and Miranda is too old to head the DeCavalcantes.

I wonder who else there is for the top seat in that family?

some of you seem to believe with frank dead and majuri old that the family is dying come on these are two guys for all we know majuri has been inactive for years and guarraci had cancer guys on the street must have known that there is probably already a new boss on the scene hell we dont even know who the underboss is

We know nothing and i mean nothing about this family no one reports on them no one is really interested. Especially as they have got smaller less interested from press and FBI philly mob gets alot of attention as does the five familys but these guys are sort of in between. We dont know most of the capos all we know is charles stagno and louie consalvo and the rumour that joey merlo is involved thats it.


I will not be surprised if the next boss is someone we have not heard of before my point is lets not say the family has no one to step up when we have no idea who has power in that family i hope capeci talks about this in gangland tomorrow

The entire family is the laughing stock of organized crime... They are all too old or too broke to matter.. It is said that Ray Tango branded Charlie Stango a rat and then not only does he get made but becomes a capo... Really?? Was is Ray doing life and Stango did a handful of years. It's said Maguri is and has been the boss.... But the boss of what??? I've heard they have more shelved guys than active

where did you hear that? last indicment showed alot of young guys. Feds said they have around 30-40 made guys still on the street. In 2005 12 guys got there button according to the feds.

Last few big mob busts some decavs have been arrested like the 2011 mafia bust and gurraci got indicted in 2010


how do you know if they are laughing stock? how do you know if they are all shelved? how do you if they are all old? how do you know how wealthy the mob is? you dont know your just making that up. Unless you know these guys which I highly doubt you do and you have no source to back anything you just said

Agreed. It's not like any family sends out a newsletter or anything saying how many members they have, etc, so everything is a secret until there's an informant or someone gets caught talking on a wire. Everything is speculation 'til then.

Agree with gangsterreport and Fleming ave. The newspaper said that the decavalcante was dead after vinnie ocean flip, some said that are a Gambino puppet because a guy (stagno I think) said were under the fucking gambinos.
At the end much of the decavalcante bad fame it due that was the only home growed mafia family in jersey but must fight against the a crews from ny and philly.
