What was Galante's relationship like with the other four New York families like? What about bosses outside of NYC like Angelo Bruno, Jim Licavoli or Ray Patriarca?

I don't know about that, but I can say from research that he pulled well with the Colombo crew; Carmine Persico, Sonny Franzese, and I think key members of the Lucchese downtown crew; Joe, Pete, and Charlie Di Palermo; and key members of the Genovese crew.
Out of state crews who were tight with Joe Bonanno I would imagine would stay close to Lilo as well. Montreal, etc., whether under their orbit or independents.
Remember Carlo Gambino, Dellacroce, Castellano, and company. and I'm sure key old Tommy Lucchese operatives would side with Gambino since the two bosses were essentially related through the marriage of their children as well.
I think that is Alan Krieger on the right, I am not sure of his let name's spelling. He was Bonnano's attorney for a long time, and the represented Gotti in the case where Gotti was sentenced to life.

Thanks. As a lawyer he represented those two, but I don't know if he had any others as clients. He did well with Bonnano, but the judge in the Gotti case had him intimidated. Plus he was not a real RICO case attorney.
