No problem. Richard was also one of the shooters on the attempt on Persico life that wounded both him and D'Ambrosio on May 19, 1963. Frank DiMatteo uncle, Joe Ships was a soldier in the Genovese family that introduced Richard to his capo Anthony Carafano who gave him a job as a bouncer at one of his club. Not long after that Richard met Anthony Strollo and also worked as a bouncer at one of his clubs on recommendation from Tommy Eboli and Vincent Gigante, who knew Richard from his boxing days. At the clubs, he ran into the Gallo brothers Larry and Joe and became friends. When Carafano was killed, Richard began working for the Gallo brothers. Frank DiMatteo also has a cousin through marriage that is also currently a made member in the Genovese crime family.
