It wasn't just one guy, but multiple that kept the troops in line. By the late 1950s, Bonanno had a problem in his family. He could relied on Frank Garofalo, Carmine Galante, Natale Evola, Angelo Caruso, Nick Alfano, Giovanni Bonventre, Giovanni Tartamella, Gaspare DiGregorio, Giuseppe Venza and Dominic Sabella to name the most important members who could keep the soldiers in line. Frank Garofalo and Giuseppe Venza retired to Sicily in the mid 1950s, Carmine Galante and Natale Evola went to prison in the late 1950s, Giovanni Bonventre retire to Sicily around 1958 or at least semi retired. When John Tartamella died of a heart attack in 1964 and Bill Bonanno was elected Consigliere, and the whole kill Carlos Gambino and Tommy Lucchese is when Gaspare DiGregorio and Dominick Sabella went against Joe Bonanno. Alfano and Caruso sat on the sidelines trying to bring a peaceful solution to the Bonanno war. It is interesting to note that the Calabrians in the Bonanno family sat on the sidelines during the Bonanno war.
