Hairy do you know who else was in that crew i know the lafortes were in that crew. Also anything more about Mike Tally i know he got shelved by Neil. He seems to be a ghost there is next to nothing on him if any one can help thanks.
Michael "Mike Tally" Caiazza (March 23, 1912 - April 28, 1994) Lived in Richmond, Staten Island. Caiazza owned bakeries on 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn.
I made a list of Dellacroce crew members over on gangsterbb years ago. Assuming they all stayed with Caiazza, his crew was:
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Joseph William "The Cat" LaForte Sr (1917 - 2016) When LaForte Sr was made, he was actually put under Carmine Lombardozzi but was transfered to be under Caiazza sometime in the 1970s. After Dellacroce´s death, LaForte Sr was put with Tommy Bilotti.
* Joseph "Buddy" LaForte Jr (1940 - ) The son of LaForte Sr. He was shelved by Dellacroce.
* Giacomo Morelli (May 13, 1912 - ?) A crew member who lived close to the Ravenite, at 235 Mulberry Street.
* 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. He was also arrested for supplying two hoods with a 38 caliber revolver, used when the hoods hijacked a police officer´s patrol car.
