Carneglia is not just one of the creepier looking soldiers from that era. But it’s interesting to note that he allegedly put at least one slug into the head of Big Paul.

Well I read that he got cleaned up before John even became boss, but even then I'm sure he wasn't the only guy who used dope that was around Gotti, his whole crew was waist deep in dope.

I think he was the only one who ever used, and he was cleaned up when he hooked up with Gotti. As Bronx said, he was no money maker, but a tough guy kept close by Gotti.

Re: OurThing's Gambino wall chart pics.

Sammy Gravano was quite handsome back in the day.

John Carneglia is incredibly ugly.

Good call. I can definitely see it when comparing it to the black and white pic from the 80s

Roach caught his moniker all the way back in his teens. He sold dope, banged the gong and also suffered from bipolar disorder.
An OG of Fulton Rockaway boys he had his vices but was a stand up guy and stone cold killer.
Got pinched selling 1/16 a key of Babania in 88 or 89 was high as fuck and started talking about sparks but changed his mind took the fall got Rockefeller act sentenced released to go back to ozone park to die from Liver Cancer from hep C.
John Loved the Guy.

Roach did clean up for awhile but the siren call of the poppy caught his ear. Armond 'Buddy' Dellacroce did dope and caught the bug. Unbelivable but they actually announced the HIV positive status after autopsy to let any of his partners know to get tested. He was on gotti shitlist for copping a plea and than getting in the wind before sentencing in the racketeering case in SDNY.

Kinda sad, he died shortly after his father in '88. Neil probably would have been hurt to know that his son died an HIV-positive drug addict.

He died of alcoholism. Brain hemorrhage they attributed to cirrhosis. Must have been doing some heavy drinking when he was on the lam in the Poconos for those two years before he died.

On those tapes between Ruggiero,, Gotti and Dellacroce doesn't Ruggerio say if he was just talking about "someone like Buddy" he'd give up the tapes no problem? He was referring to Dellacroce's own kid like that in front of him? Or was he talking about some other "Buddy"?

This person claimed it was a combination of alcohol and cocaine that did him in. Brain hemorrhage from alcohol alone probably isn't too common, but I could definitely see it mixing with cocaine.

Was Frank Punchy Illiano a boxer? I read it somewhere that he was and that it was the reason for the nickname. Is that truth or myth?

Yes he was a boxer in his teens, he was in the Crazy Joe Gallo crew but was very close to Larry Gallo. After Joe Gallo was killed he and Albert ‘Kid Blast’ Gallo we’re absorbed into the Genovese borgata. He was close to Chin through boxing. He flew low under the radar and never caught any pinches that I know of and was supposedly highly respected. Some of my info came from DeMatteos book ‘growing up mafia’
I have a photo on my phone of Punchy and Larry Gallo as kids taken in a photobooth together. I’m not really tech savvy and don’t know how to shrink it to 200kb maybe someone else can find it on Pinterest and repost for us. Just query Larry Gallo.

that pic is quite easy to find and I'm sure it's probably already been posted in this thread.

how was the book? I've thought about reading it.

I didn’t really like the book much, author probably is or was a knockaround and supposedly was close to Albert Gallo. I respect the author because he stayed old school and didn’t air any laundry but seemed like he had a hard on for Albert Gallo and Punchy for giving up the Gallo war and getting made into the ‘West Side Crew’ he mentioned Bobby Borriello I learned they are from same south Brooklyn hood.
If anyone here is from the d Gowanus area n red hook maybe they know who all the characters are but I never heard of most of them but I was raised in the city so that place was out of bounds to me.
