Hey Pizzaboy whats the story behind Farby theres not much info about him he must of been a heavy hitter to have made it to the top of the genevese.
He was a legacy. And although most Westside guys seem to steer their children away from the life, his father and uncle and cousins were all big in numbers and sports out in Queens. They were originally from Jackson Heights and worked pretty closely with what would later become Tough Tony's crew.
Was he a junk man or a union guy or an all round gangster like Carmine persico
Like I said, he was a big numbers and sports guy. He never got into the unions to the degree that the rest of the uptown crew did. As far as junk, well, he was East Harlem based from back in the '60s and '70s. That's all I'm saying.
or an all round gangster like Carmine persico
Farby was a stone fucking gangster. He died really young. He didn't even make 60, or he'd be right near the top today.
