LA Family leftovers

Post by Tony Monte »

I know the LA family is pretty much defunct but whatever happened to some of the guys who are still around? Like Louie Caruso, Tommaso Gambino, and Pauly Rossi? With Tommy Gambino mafia heritage I’m sure he is involved someone and he and Louie Caruso were kinda tight did they maybe link up with Sicilian crews or maybe NY family?

Caruso was supposedly running an AC company in Arizona.

The family is defunct. Last even minor case was 20 years ago. Here are the surviving members, assuming they're all still alive at this point. Ages (and other details) may need some updating.

2. Michael "Porno Mike" Esposito/69 - owns Gentleman's Video (adult film company) in Los Angeles, CA

3. Thomaso "Tommy" Gambino/42 - runs Royal Entertainment, Inc, reported by US House Committee to be underboss in March 2002

4. Russell "Russ" Massetta/65 - was made in Los Angeles, now lives in Cleveland, married to Pete Milano's sister

5. Leonardo "Limping Lenny" Montana/83 - bookmaker, owns Enzo's Pizzeria in Los Angeles, CA

6. Robert "Fat Bobby" Paduano/75 - involved in 1991 drug case, loanshark

7. Rocco "Rocky Bigfoot" Zangari/83 - moved back to Buffalo, inactive

Sciortino died in the early 2000s in his 90’s. Rocco Zachari is equally dead, he died 7 or 8 years ago in NY.

I swear to you, if you ever lived in Los Angeles for more than a few years, you wouldn't be saying that. You'd be saying, "I don't blame him." L.A. has turned into a Socialist shit hole with more rules, regulations, citations, fines, inspections, taxes and traffic grid lock eighteen hours a day that makes it impossible to get through an intersection on one phase of a green light.

Yeah, but to move back to Cleveland or Buffalo? What, Flint, Michigan was full?

I was in LA for only a week a few years ago. Never care to go back. The drivers alone...

My father in law described the people on the streets of San Diego as if
all the insane asylums were emptied out at breakfast, and the nutters were
all looking for lunch.
