Eddie Coco was another Lucchese family power that lived and had operations in Florida for a long time.

They had strong historic ties to LA and members visited there, the Luccheses also representing LA on the Commission, but certainly no crew there.

Bill Bonanno believed the remnants of the Birmingham Family were assigned to Gagliano after that Family voted to disband but if that's accurate it would have just been a small number of elderly members and not a "crew". We also can't be too confident that Bonanno was 100% right about the arrangement and either way the situation doesn't apply much to what you're wondering about.
Thanks. Accetturo was another who spent a lot of time in Florida but obviously he was from the New Jersey crew.

Looking back over the years, the Genovese had satellite crews based in Springfield and Florida. The Gambinos in Connecticut, Baltimore, and Florida. The Colombos in Florida. And the Bonannos in Arizona and Montreal.

Unless I'm overlooking something, I can't think of any for the Luccheses. Does anyone know if they ever had a crew based outside the NY/NJ area?
