Sam Guzzino (Organized hit on Al Pilotto and wound up dead in a ditch with a slit throat weeks later). Brother of Richard 'Jumbo' Guzzino.

A good source who grew up around a lot of the Chicago Heights/Gary Crew members said that Sam Guzzino was cousins with Nick Guzzino and that there was a rumor Nick was the one who got Sam. Any credence to that and are they really cousins? I expect some of you may know more.
You don’t hear to much about Nicky Guzzino. I do believe he was made but could be wrong. He is one of the last surviving Chicago Heights members
Nick C said he was made with him in 83
Right and if he did participate in his cousins murder, then this may well have been what earned his proposal for membership.

FWIW I've seen Nicholas Guzzino listed as dead in some places, no idea how accurate that is though.
He’s still alive unless he died recently and they never published the obituary. Here is his brother’s obit and he is not listed as being “the late” Nicholas Guzzino
So far as I know he is still alive but would be in his mid-80s now. Still youngish enough by LCN standards when he got out of the can in ‘06 though, so I do wonder what his deal was. As a member, unless he got shelved at some point, he would have had to report to someone, so I would guess Caruso (assuming that he is/was actually a captain). He did a lot of time and didn’t flip so you’d think this would count for quite a bit, but since he’s the last member that we know of down there, not like there was any crew left for him to be bumped up to capo over.

Famous Pizza Joint/Headquarters of Gary Crew in Glen Park (Gary, Indiana). Pete was the brother of Bernard Morgano (another son of Gaetano Morgano) and I'm told was not involved with the Outfit.
