I may be way off, but I think his dad is Preston Geritano, a Gambino associate who was killed in 2004. It had something to do with a beef with the Genoveses. I don´t remember the details. Preston Gerritano by the way, was originally a member of the Gallo gang but switched to the Gambinos in the 1970s, if I´m not mistaken.
Preston Geritano was a Genovese associate. He was the one who killed Bobby Boriello. Junior Gotti and Barney Bellomo had a sit down over it.
Isn't the guy a soldier for the Genovese's?
If you're talking about Benny Geritano, articles have identified him as an associate of both the Gambino and Genovese families.
