5 Family Crew Succession

[bn]

In early 1974 Tommy Greco was demoted/stepped down as official captain and Antonio 'Hickey' DiLorenzo became official captain with Rosario 'Sally Young' Palmieri as acting captain. In Fall 1977 Palmieri took over the crew.

That is not very likely, bn. Hickey DiLorenzo was under Frasca and his acting captain while Frasca had legal worries in the late 1960s. DiLorenzo stepped down in 1969 when he got arrested. He was in jail in the early 1970s.

Greco had used Joe "Lefty" Loiacono and Joe Lapadura (at various times) as acting captains until he stepped down. But it looks like Palmieri took over this crew at some point. In the early 1980s, Joe "Lefty" Loiacono is an official captain but I don´t know if Loiacono (formerly under Greco) was a direct successor of Palmieri or was simply given another crew.

In April 1974 a member source advised that the crew 'formerly run' by Thomas Greco was 'given to' Hickey Di Lorenzo and 'is now run' by Rosario Palmieri. This seems to indicate that DiLorenzo was official captain with Palmieri as acting. Another report seems to indicate this as well.

Yes, DiLorenzo was originally under Frasca, but a chunk of his crew was put with Greco in the early 1970s, including Anthony DiLorenzo, Matteo DeLorenzo, and George Rizzo.

In Fall 1977 an informant reported that Palmieri was promoted to Captain.

Do you have access to this information and can you post it? This is news to me.

Hairy - I have sent you a PM.

Based on information in the same report it appears that Nicholas 'Nick O'Brien' Galante was a Captain at the time of his death. The report identifies Joseph Famularo, Danny Noto, and Louis LaRocca as formerly being in his crew. These guys were all formerly under Frank Celano.

JD listed Frank Celano as a ("Capodecina?"') at the time of his death in 1973 so it seems that Galante took over for Celano sometime before 1973.
