Absolutely. Here's another father/son team

Trafficante Family soldier Angelo “The Hammer” LoScalzo, and his son, future Family boss Vincent “Vince” LoScalzo.

Yes, the Asaros, father and son, are another good example.

One for each of the 5 families :

- Al D'Arco and his son Joey D'Arco (Lucchese)

- Sonny Franzese and his son Michael Franzese (Colombo)

- Joseph LaForte sr and Jospeh LaForte jr (Gambino) : probably one of the most active soldier currently. The Lafortes seems to be everywhere these days.Interestingly, Joe the Cat eventually wanted to kill his son a short time after getting him inducted but the Gambino administration refused.

- Richard Cantarella sr and Richard Cantarella jr (Bonnano)

- Joseph Pagano and his son Danny Pagano (Genovese)

Gambino captain; Joe ''Butch'' Corrao and his son Vinny '' Vinny Butch'' Corrao who was a made-guy and ''Acting captain'' of his father's crew in the 1990's.

Joe ''Butch'' Corrao's father was Vinny ''Vinny Shrimp'' Corrao who was a captain back in the 1970's...

That's 3 generation of the Corrao's. Grandfather; Son; and Grandson.

Good addition, Zavattoni. And yes, the Corraos represented 3 generations of wiseguys. In his time, the grandfather, who everybody in the neighborhood called "Jimmy the Blond," was one of the most respected of Carlo Gambino's capos.

Lucchese captain; Ralph Perna SR and his sons; John Perna and Ralph Perna... I think one of his sons is "Acting captain" of the New Jersey crew.

Ralph Perna SR I believe also had a father who was a captain in the Lucchese's back in the 1960's.


Also what about deceased Lucchese captain Domenico "Danny" Cutaia.... His son and grandson are made guys.... Domenica Cutaia son-in law John Baudanza is apart of the life.

Thanks; NYMafia. I'm trying my best.

Another powerhouse Father-Son combo would be.

Deceased Profaci captain; Frank Abbatemarco; His son was Anthony "Tony Shots" Abbatemarco. "Tony Shot" was Acting underboss of the Colombo's in the early or mid 1970's? before Persico return on the streets from prison.

No doubt! In fact, before he was killed, (supposedly, the very reason why he was killed,) was because "Frankie Shots" was one of the most important of a dozen-odd capos serving under Joe Profaci. One who brought in a ton of money through his control over much of South Brooklyn's numbers racket.

When he finally balked at how much Profaci was demanding of his net profits, the "bite" the old man was putting on him, thats when Frankie got hit in the head.

Even though they were allegedly the ones who killed his father (under orders from Profaci,) thats also why his son, Tony Shots, jumped onboard the "Gallo Brothers Train" when they finally rebelled.

He also brought the bulk of his dad's numbers business into the Gallo fold when he allied with them.

Later, when he defected back to the Profaci camp, he took his numbers biz with him, greatly diminishing the financial backing and strength of the Gallo's war against the Family.

One i learned about recently : Colombo soldier Joseph "Joe Brewster" DeDomenico was the son of Joseph Delmonico, a Gambino soldier.

Apparently Joe Brewster changed his name from Delmonico to DeDomenico.

Another rare occurence of a father and son being made into two different families.
