Not sure of what I write, tbh.


Yeah, that's the guy. Took over Galente's crew after Carmine went to prison and was courted by all factions during the Bonnano war. Didn't seem to have the necessary toughness to be a boss, but had a lot of political clout apparently.


Sonny that's interesting I didn't know Galante skippered a crew out of Nj? I just assumed he was a Brooklyn guy since he was always seen in Bushwick on Knickerbocker ave or maybe im just confused bc thats where Joe & Marys was that he was whacked


Galante grew up in the Lower east side, 29 stanton st. Latter lived in East Harlem.
