Re: Carmelo Gallo, aka Carlo Gallo, Carmen Gallo
The
Maclean's magazine article for which Fab provided a screenshot a few posts back is referenced in the Thomas Renner-authored book that has a couple of titles:
Mafia assassin: the inside story of a Canadian biker, hitman, and police informer and
Mafia enforcer: a true story of life and death in the mob. The book
Police undercover: the true story of the biker, the mafia & the mountie by Mark Murphy, the Mountie who retired from the RCMP because he wasn't treated very well by his employer, treads some of the same ground as Renner's. Later I'll try to provide quotes from each book about Gallo and Joe Gentile but for now I'll say that Murphy refers to Gallo as Gentile's "underling" -- a view that is consistent with James Dubro's assessment of Gallo -- and that Murphy believed there were about 6 members in Gentile's group.
Gallo's original online funeral-home obit is no longer available. AFAIK, there was no print obituary. However, it's easy to find some links to some "obituary" pages that were derived from the original:
