Here's another low key mafioso who quietly ruled for over fifty years and never served even 1 DAY in the can... Giuseppe (Joe Brown) Lucchese. Tommy's brother.

He was "given" the town of Corona by his brother as a gift. He became the resident "capo" over the entire territory, and was also a very dominant power over neighboring Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Flushing, Forest Hills, Rego Park, etc, etc. From the 1940's through 1975 he was the man to see in that area.

He ran mostly gambling and shylocking.... ran a very large but quiet crew. Most were never even known to the public.

They made millions upon millions. He lived in exclusive Malba, Queens. His "acting capo" was the better known Joseph (Joey Narrow) Laratro, who still was very low key. NO violence. NO bullshit. NO high profile hijackings, narcotics, robberies, or other rackets that draw police attention.

He held ownership in Whitestone Lanes Bowling Alley, extensive real estate in Queens and the Bronx, a lathing company, etc.

Joe Brown died in his sleep. He was in his mid-80s I believe. He lived a VERY charmed life indeed!

NOT the wealthiest mafioso out there, but he made one hell of a living, and more importantly didn't spend his life in the can or die in the gutter.
