Salvatore Mirabile (Bonanno Family)

JD mentions three family ties to other LCN members. But a fourth one is equally interesting. The subjects son (John or Jack) married Davida Rava (b ca 1958) in the early 1990s. Davida Rava is the daughter (or possibly niece) of murdered Gambino heavyweight Tommy Rava.

New biography from LСN Bios. Never heard of him before, half Neapolitan, half Sicilian, a rare example of a possible member from Syracuse.

New biography from LСN Bios. Never heard of him before, half Neapolitan, half Sicilian, a rare example of a possible member from Syracuse.

There were a handful of guys from Syracuse in the Hartford, CT area: DeCav members Joe Guerriero, Frank Carbone & John Grande plus Genovese member Bobby Doyle Santuccio

The post mentions one Andrew 'Benny the Old Man' Benzola as a member of the Harlem crew. This is probably who the "Joe Benzola" phonetic name is referring to. The FBI dead list carries a Andrew Joseph Benzola (1915 - 1984).

There is some cofusion about this guy. He was definitely made but I think the FBI dead list is wrong though as far as DOB is concerned. I tend to believe this is the guy:

Name: Andrew Benzola
State of Issue: New York
Date of Birth: Tuesday January 02, 1894
Date of Death: June 1984
Est. Age at Death: 90 years, 5 months
Last known residence:
City: Yonkers; Centuck
County: Westchester
State: New York

He was a jeweler by occupation and had a record. For example, he was charged with gambling conspiracy in 1962. It looks like he had a brother named Joseph (b ca 1898, a truck driver). Both men had daughters named Theresa and sons named George. In 1930, a Joseph Benzola was arrested following a gun battle in the Bronx. He said he was a jewelry salesman and age matches with Andrew Benzola. It´s possible he gave his brother s name when arrested or used his second name (if Joseph was it). In any case, the Andrew Benzola listed as a member of the Genovese Family was born in 1894.

In 1928, Benozla was involved in a failed hit alongside Meyer Lansky, Busgy Siegel, Samuel “Red” Levine, and an Elliott Muggins:

Pretty big crowd, the most famous Jewish gangsters ever. I’m guessing “Eliott Muggins” was someone’s alias

Surprising that Benzola knew Lansky and Siegel that early on. It´s possible that he was a member of what the press dubbed "The Bugs and Meyer Mob".

JD has a great bio posted about Joseph Miranda of the DeCavalcante’s
