Going on memory here, but didnt Amato skipper that crew, Pogo?
He was a soldier and they were associates. I don't think Amato was ever a captain, but he was mistakenly listed as one on LE charts in the 80s.

Yeah Baldo Amato oversaw the crew for the Bonannos. They were all busted in 1999.

John "Fat Face" Petrucelli - Got made into the Luccheses. Now doing life for murder.

Joseph Petrucelli (John's brother)- Doing life for murder.

Steve Crea Jr. - Got made into the Luccheses

Craig DePalma (son of Greg DePalma) - Got made into the Gambinos, flipped and then tried to kill himself but survived. Dead now.

Darin Mazzarella - Flipped

Nicholas Mazzarella (brother of Darin) - Flipped

Alfred "Freddy Boy" Santorelli (son of Lucchese Capo Anthony Santorelli) - Got made into the Luccheses.

James Galante (grandson of Carmine Galante I believe) - I think he is doing life for a murder.

Andrew DiSimone (son of Lucchese Soldier Salvatore “Sally Bow” DiSimone) - Got made into the Luccheses. Now a Capo.

Anthony DeSimone (son of Lucchese Soldier Salvatore “Sally Bow” DiSimone) - Doing life for murder.

Phillip DeSimone - ? (I believe he is related to the other DeSimones)- Got made into the Luccheses.

Pasquale Parello Jr. (son of Genovese Capo Pasquale "Patsy" Parello) - He was killed.


I'm sure there are others.

I thought James Galante was from Brooklyn? Are you sure he was a Tanglewood member? The kid who stabbed a guy in the chest in front of a full hapy hour crowd then went on the lam?

Tore Loc was never a Tanglewood boy. He's in his mid 50's now and came up directly under his father. Most of the Tanglewoods are much younger.

He was former boss Frank DeSimones nephew.

Had no idea Crea Jr was made - is there a source for this info?

People associate Aiello with the Bronx because he ended up close to Basciano and was in that crew (which actually had members all over NY), but he came up around the Bonanno heartland in Middle Village / Ridgewood. That's also where his father operated in the 70s and 80s.

I wonder if those Ragusa's are related to Kyle Ragusa a member of Andy Merola's NJ Gambino crew. He did ten yr for shooting a guy.

Are you sure about Ace the young Bonnano who got the 30yr sentence being a Tangle wood member? I don't think he was. He was in grade school in the early 90s...

Thanks Pogo. Reason I even bring this up is because I re read that old Mcrary story he did with Darin. It comes off like a novel cause I'm sure most of it was made up. Fun read if you can discern the truth from the fiction.
Thanks again Pogo.
