The crew was originally led by Armand Rava. After Rava´s murder in late 1957, the crew split between Neil Dellacroce and Anthony Rizzo. Guys like Petey "Pumps" Ferrara, Jimmy "Brown" Failla and Salvatore "Toddo" Aurello ended up under Rizzo. But these guys listed below reported to Dellacroce (there may have been others but these are the ones I know about):

* Frank "Frankie Martin" Barranca (1928- ) Son of Stefano Barranca, made guy in the Bonanno Family. Frank Barranca was once put on a hit list by Larry Gallo due to a conflict in the numbers operation. Barranca and his brother operated out of Red Hook, Brooklyn, same territory as the Gallo brothers. In 1969, An informant said that Barranca was Dellacroce´s number one guy. The informant had knowledge of a meeting taking place down in Florida in 1969 between Barranca, Tony Plate and Santo Trafficante for the purpose of discussing a purchase of a hospital complex located in North Dade, Florida. Barranca lived at 228 Warren Street, Brooklyn. He may be still alive today.

* Joseph S. Barranca (Dec 29, 1929 - ) The brother of Frank. Lived at 475 Henry Street, Brooklyn. He was listed by the FBI as a made Gambino member in the 1960s, but not listed on LE charts later in the 1980s. May be still alive today.

* Joseph Vincent Bisogno (Dec 18, 1931 - Aug, 1969) Before moving to Miami, Florida, Bisogno lived in Flushing, Queens. He was known as an enforcer. In addition to a federal narcotic conviction, Bisogno also had arrests for assaults and murder. In 1968. Secret Service agents raided a hotel room in Miami, occupied by Bisogno, and seized 300.000 US dollars in counterfeit money. Bisogno was arrested, indicted, convicted and sentenced to a 10 year prison term in 1969. Bisogno may have been murdered, I have no details of his death.

* Michael "Mike Tally" Caiazza (March 23, 1912 - April 28, 1994) Lived in Richmond, Staten Island. Caiazza owned bakeries on 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn. He took over the crew when Dellacroce was bumped up to underboss. Interestingly enough, Caiazza was demoted as crew leader by Dellacroce later in 1985 when Caiazza took counsel from Castellano on who to temporarily put in charge of his crew, which made Dellacroce furious.

* Michael Vincent Catalano (Feb 7, 1918 - May 15, 1998) One of the crew members who lived in close vicinity of Dellacroce´s Social club at Mulberry Street, just across the street actually. While already in jail for extortion, he was indicted 1n 1970, with Dellacroce and Angelo Bruno, the Philadelphia boss, on charges of criminal contempt. Later, also this time with Dellacroce, he was indicted on tax evasion conspiracy charges and was found guilty. He received a two year prison term.

* Michael Cirelli (March 1, 1908 - Feb 19, 1988) Cirelli was the owner of the apartment above The Ravenite that was used in the late 1980s by Gotti for secret talks.

* Edward Rocco "Eddie Ottawa" Consalvo (May 11, 1920 - Feb, 1981) Before moving to Richmond, Staten Island, Consalvo resided at 215 Mott Street. He was once employed as a longshoreman. He was probably the uncle of Carmine and Frank Consalvo, two brothers who both met mysterious deaths in 1975. Received a suspended sentence and placed on a two year probation in 1952 for possession of untaxed alcohol. In 1956, Consalvo was a suspect in the Abe Telvi murder. According to informants, Consalvo was driving the getaway car. If I´m not mistaken, Lucchese mobster Jimmy Plumeri was the godfather of Consalvo´s son Anthony.

* William Charles Cottone (April 14, 1915 - Feb, 1985) Lived at 10 Elizabeth Street and was a regular at a social club located at 121 Mulberry Street, owned by Gambino captain Joe Gennaro. This seems to suggest that Cottone was a Gennaro crew member but later (after Gennaro´s death) likely transfered to Dellacroce´s crew.

* Ettore Luigi "Eddie" DeCurtis (June 21, 1913 - July 1985) A prolific money maker, DeCurtis was a financier of pornographic lierature, films and homosexual bars. He ran several crap games throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island and was also known as a bookmaker. Lived at 185 West Houston Street. Three years after his death, DeCurtis´ son Gregory was shot to death while sitting in a stretched limo.

* Guido Mario "Dolls" DeCurtis (1914 - March 16, 1977) A brother of Eddie and a partner of his in numerous rackets. Guido was shot to death on Lexington Avenue near East 27th street on March 16, 1977.

* Carmine Dellacroce (Dec 2, 1905 - Jan 1969) Brother of Neil. Lived in Valley Stream, Nassau, LI. In 1937, Carmine Dellacroce was accused of hitting a man on the head with a hammer during a fight and sentenced to a 6 months prison term.

* Anthony "Tony West" DeLutro (Apr 9, 1927 - March 26, 1997) Another crew member who lived close by the Ravenite. In 1965, Tony DeLutro with eight others, was convicted of looting NJ post offices. It was said that the burglaries cost the government more than 158.000 US dollars in stolen postage stamps and blank money orders. DeLutro was given a two year prison term. Also in 1965, DeLutro was caught up in the big heroin case emanated from the Patsy Luca case. But I don´t know if he was found guilty or acquitted. In 1975, DeLutro was indicted in the same heroin case as Frank Lucas, found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

* Cataldo "Charlie The Animal" DeLutro (Nov 27, 1916 - April 14, 1987) A brother of Anthony, known as a shylock collector with a fearsome reputation. With Dellacroce, muscled in on various establishments when the owners could not repay loans. One of these establishments was The Jazzland, a night spot located in Midtown Manhattan. In 1970, DeLutro was sentenced to 8 years imprisonment, but I can´t find any details about the case. He lived at 55 East Houston Street in Manhattan.

* Carmine "Charley Wagons" Fatico (Jan 19, 1910 - Aug, 1991) Known as a hijacker who controlled gambling activities for the Gambino Family/Dellacroce faction in the East New York/Brownsville sections of Brooklyn. Fatico was given a crew to run probably sometime in the early 1970s and inducted the Gotti brothers and Angelo "Quack-Quack" Ruggiero amongst a few others. Lived in west Islip, out on Long Island.

* Donato "Danny Wagons" Fatico (July 10, 1920 - March 24, 2006) Brother of Charley Wagons. His rapsheet is pretty extensive and includes unlawful entry, convictions for assault, bookmaking, operating an illicit still and numerous gambling offenses. In 1977, Danny Wagons was sentenced to 3 years in prison after been convicted of operating a high stakes crap game. In the 1980s, Danny lived at 97-11 Lefferts Boulevard, Queens. (Ozone Park section.)

* Giacomo Morelli (May 13, 1912 - ?) A crew member who lived close to the Ravenite, at 235 Mulberry Street.

* Anthony "Fat Andy" Ruggiano (Aug 16, 1926 - March 19, 1999) Ruggiano was big into gambling, loansharking and drugs. Like Carmine Fatico, Ruggiano was given a crew to run probably in the early 1970s and inducted the Corozzo brothers and others. In 1987, Ruggiano pleaded guilty on racketeering charges and received 17 years in prison. He was released in 1997.

* Vincent J. Yacono Sr (Sep 8, 1926 - July 29, 1992) Yacono was caught up in the big French Connection case back in the late 1950s. He lived in the same South Brooklyn neighborhood as the Barrancas (at 503 Henry street). As a youth, Yacone was arrested for grand larceny after stealing 308 pounds of Italian cheese.
