So because he was reconsidering the life and/or was already cooperating? They tried to kill him, that's reason enough.
Makes you think. Makes you think about the people in your life. And when I think, I think of Neil. If he were here now what would he say? He would say "John what's it about? What's life about... if you dont go through it as a man's man?". He'd say "Suck it up, take the fall do the time. That made you what you are. That makes you what you are. How long have we been around this thing of ours? This Cosa Nostra? 120 years. What's it about? It's about the rules, perimeters. You take the beating for a friend, you don't run, you don't lay down, you don't betray who you are. What you are.

John Stanfa wanted John Veasey dead for a couple of reasons, really. After Veasey murdered Frank Baldino (an associate of Joey Merlino), Veasey allegedly began to attempt to extort money from other mobsters, because by this time Veasey had an inflated ego. Secondly, Veasey claimed in the 60 minute interview that Stanfa was going to give him a cash bonus for being inducted into La Cosa Nostra. Veasey went to confront Stanfa about it, Stanfa refused, and wanted John eliminated (it goes with the idea that you don't take money from the family, let alone the boss!). In other words, John got too big for his britches.
As for Billy Vaesey, the mob subculture is a small world, so maybe he got word that Stanfa was plotting to kill his brother (Billy was friends with Joey Merlino as a kid, so word probably gets around really fast).

I think I read somewhere Ralph Natale said he ordered the Billy Veasey hit, not Stanfa. Stanfa only tried to kill John. Natale was "boss" after stanfa and it was during the end of Stanfas time as boss when this happened so that really doesnt make sense considering part of stanfas conviction was based on veasey

It came from the Merlino faction not the Stanfa faction. http://articles.philly.com/2001-04-06/ne...ino-john-stanfa
