"Sam the Plumber" DeCavalcante bossed a Mafia Family in Jersey for decades. Although he ruled over an underworld fiefdom with hundreds of made men and mob associates alike, one hoodlum stood out as his righthand man, his main "go to" guy.
Robert (Bobby Basile) Occhipinti was Sam's virtual shadow. A quiet and low key mafioso, not much was ever really known about Bobby....until now!
I have to say I am really enjoying these articles about the New Jersey guys from all different families!
Thank you Fleming. Glad to hear that. Thats why I do em. I too enjoy the lesser known guys and the NJ guys as well. I've actually been focusing more on Jersey guys lately. Richie the Boot, etc. I have a few more NJ coming out soon.
