Frankie Locascio Passed away

[JohnnySalami]

According to BOP he passed away oct. 1st. Tho a known killer sad the govt couldn’t grant his compassionate release even tho the murder charge he was convicted on werent true . Another legend in that world gone

[JeremyTheJew]

I’m looking for Sammy doing a podcast on him. I listen to these podcasts every morning on the way to work

[OcSleeper]

Are we sure this time? He died back in June too

[Shellackhead]

Wow, and that’s that. Another old timer is gone.. who’s next? Probably Bobby Manna

[Dave65827]

Can’t wait for Gravanos video of him feeling bad about putting Locascio in prison where he died shitting himself

[OcSleeper]

Here is what I have for the Golden Age era members (those made pre-Appalachia).


Genovese:
Bobby Manna
Larry Dentico
Mario Gigante


Gambino:
Frank LoCascio
Patsy Conte
Joe Marino


Colombo:
Vinny Aloi


DeCavalcante:
Paul Farina
?-Joe Miranda (if he is even still alive)

The list grows smaller

[Pogo The Clown]

I was just about to post that list.


By my count the Gambinos have lost at least 17 members since 2019. That is almost 10% of their membership.

Yeah, Gravano will say what a good friend to him and cosa nostra he was and how he tried to get him out of prison.

I think it will be a Huge funeral with all the guys showing up.... he was definitely a power house and how he took it on the chin and stood by John til the end . His brother pass as well ? Heard his brother had a social club in the Bronx and ran the whole neighborhood and had ALOT of respect .The building still has his picture on the glass window, even though it’s not a social club any longer.

He fell out with Gotti in the late 90s did he not? I seem to remember a rumour that JG tried to have him killed.

When Gotti died he also said that he didn't get a fair trial because JG threatened to kill his lawyer unless he pursued a 'team' defence strategy, instead of focussing on Locasio and potentially getting him off free...

Not to be cold, but I guess Capeci doesn't have to write anything new this week.

What about these names to add to the list? Castellana was listed as likely pre-1957, I can't find dates for Pugliano or D'Ambrosio but they're certainly old enough.
Gambino
-Peter Castellana
Genovese
-Frank Pugliano
Colombo
-Alfonse D'Ambrosio

[Pogo The Clown]

D'Ambrosio would be one (assuming he is still alive). Don't know about the other two.

Peter Castellana died like a year ago, I think.

[Pogo The Clown]

Did he? I missed that. If so that would be 18 dead Gambinos since 2019.
