Good call on all 3 louie, I would guess out of them 3 lombardozzi waa capo the longest? I mean he started under anastasia right and I think if I read wasnt he listes on gotti hr weddinf gift list as a capo?

How far back to jimmy brown go carlo in the 60s?

Stephen Grammauta, Joe Arcuri, Charles Panarella, Larry Dentico, Albert Gallo, Neil Migliore, Joe Lombardo.


Grammauta for longest at a guess.

Good call sonny but was grammauta a capo for kost of his time active? Know he had a long career but for some reason I always thought he was ja soldier? I defer to ur knowledge pry just my misunderstanding

Paul Castellano had a fairly long reign as a capo before becoming boss. Made a skipper under Anastasia in the early fifties til being named Carlos successor in 1976.

Also Vinny Corraro, Joe butchs father. Held capo position from late 40s til he handed crew to son in mid 70s.

Long term Gambino capos:

Joe "Bantie" Biondo. Captain of a crew from late 20's to 1951. A lot of later big guys came up in his crew. Served as consig then underboss during 51 to 65 before being demoted by Gambino for holding back monies owed to the family. 25 plus years

Anthony Scotto. Took over from his father in law Tony Anastasio in 1963. Served until removed by John Gotti in 1986. 23 years

Patsy Conte. Took over his father, Antonio "Niño" Contes crew upon his fathers death in 1958. May have been acting capo prior while his father served as underboss to Albert Anastasia. Removed in 1994- his crew taken over by Dom Ceflu. 36 years

Joe Arcuri. Made under Vincent Mangano, FFS!! Took over his father, Domenico Arcuris crew in mid 60s. Served as captain until his death in 2007. Was on ruling panels in post Gotti era but essentially served as crew chief for forty something odd years...long run. Served under every boss from Mangano to Peter Gotti. Never did any time.

I read that Arcuri was based on 69th street close to the Upper East side, near Murray Hill. Is that true?

That section wasn't always rich. Even the Ramones wrote a song about how it was sketchy. Nowadays it is obviously super rich, but walking the area especially the lower numbered avenues, you get a sense it wasn't always that way.

Cant imagine hes too active...he'll be 100 next year.

Not that it really matters but East 69th Street IS the upper east side. Murray Hill is the East 30s. Upper east side is east 59th street to east 96th street. All of it is pretty well off, but the really wealthy part is near Central Park. The upper east corner of the neighborhood (yorkville) is relatively reasonable and some good deals can be found there.
