Chicago Outfit member Louis (Louie the Mooch) Eboli, was the son of New York Genovese Family boss, Thomas "Tommy Ryan) Eboli, and the nephew of capo Patsy Eboli.......among a few others.
Makes you wonder why he didn't stay in New York and work for his father and uncle.
Why become a member of the Outfit when your dad is boss of the Genovese? Did his father send him over to Chicago with a purpose?
Tommy had married a girl who came from Chicago. When they broke up, she went back to Chicago and took their son with her. Louie was only a baby at the time. So he was raised and reared in Chitown, and that's where he felt most comfortable to live and operate. So Tommy sent word to the powers that be there, and they took the kid under their wing, protected him and made him somebody.
So you could say that Chicago and the Genovese have always respected one another. Yes?
Generally speaking, all the Families throughout the entire United States got along, and that includes Chicago. But admittedly, certain Famiies were closer to one another than others. And from day one, the Genovese and Chicago Famiies have always had a close relationship, Chicago having originally been an "offspring" from the old Masseria/Luciano Family.
