Carlo "Don Carlo" Gambino (24 August 1902 - 15 October 1976) is the mafia and boss of the Gambino-American crime family, still named after him. After the 1957 Apalachin Convention, he suddenly assumed control of the American Mafia Commission.
Gambino is known for not attracting attention and closed. In 1937, Gambino was convicted of tax evasion but his sentence was suspended. He lived until the age of 74, when he died of a heart attack in bed "in a state of grace," according to a priest who has given him the Last Ritual of the Catholic Church.
Early life
Carlo Gambino was born in Palermo, Sicily, in 1902, into a family owned by the Honorable Society. The Honorable Society is slightly more complicated than the Black Hand of the United States, which is often confused with the American Mafia. The Black Hand, like the pre-1920 Mafia, is a highly disorganized version of the European Mafia. After Benito Mussolini pursued a large number of real mafiosi from Italy, Italian-Americans such as Gambino benefited from a new Mafia that was more organized. Gambino began executing murder orders for a new mafia boss in his teenage years. In 1921, at the age of 19, he became an "artificial man" and was inducted into Cosa Nostra. He came to be known as the "original." He is a cousin and brother-in-law of the Gambino crime family, Paul Castellano. He has two brothers, Gaspare Gambino, who has never been involved with the Mafia, and Paolo Gambino who has a big role in the family of his brother.

Immigration
Gambino entered the United States on December 23, 1921, in Norfolk, Virginia, a single passenger aboard the SS Vincenzo Florio , and an illegal immigrant. He ate nothing but anchovy and grapes during the course of a month and joined his cousin, Castellanos, in New York City. There he joined the criminal family led by Salvatore "Toto" D'Aquila, one of the larger crime families in the city. Uncle Gambino, Giuseppe Castellano, also joined the family of D'Aquila around this time.
Gambino is also involved with the "Young Turks," a group of Italian and Jewish American mafia in New York including Frank "Prime Minister" Costello, Albert "Mad Hatter" Anastasia, Frank Scalice, Gaetano "Tommy Three-Finger Brown" Lucchese, Joe Adonis, Vito Genovese, Meyer Lansky, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, and Charles "Lucky" Luciano, one of the most powerful mob bosses in the future. The crew were involved in robbery, theft, and illegal gambling. However, with their new partner, Arnold "The Brain" Rothstein, they switched to bootlegging during Prohibition in the early 1920s. Gambino also generated substantial profits during World War II by bribing officials of the Office of Price Administration (OPA) for ration stamps, which were then sold on the black market.

Castellammarese War
In 1926, Luciano was regarded as a rising gangster. His immediate superior, Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria, began in conflict with Salvatore Maranzano, the recent arrival of Palermo who was born in Castellammare del Golfo. When Maranzano arrived in New York in 1925, his access to money and labor enabled him to engage in a tightening, blackmail and gambling operation that directly competed with Masseria. On October 10, 1928, Masseria got rid of her rival for a capo in tutti capi ("boss boss"), Brooklyn boss Salvatore D'Aquila. However, Masseria still has to deal with the powerful Maranzano and his Castellammarese caste. Gambino was thrown into the line of fire.
Masseria demands the absolute loyalty of other criminals in his area and kills anyone who fails to obey. In 1930, Masseria demanded $ 10,000 tribute from Maranzano's boss, Nicolo "Cola" SchirÃÆ'², and was supposed to get it. Schirá² escaped from New York in fear, leaving Maranzano as the new leader. In 1931, a series of murders in New York involving members of the Castellammarese clan and his colleagues caused Maranzano and his family to declare war against Masseria and its allies. The family of D'Aquila, now headed by Alfred Mineo, sided with Masseria. In addition to Gambino, other prominent members of this family include colleagues Luciano Albert Anastasia and Frank Scalice. The Castellammarese clan included Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonanno and Stefano Magaddino, the family of Profaci's crime, which included Joe Profaci and Joseph MaglioccoÃ, â € "Bonanno's cousin - along with former Reita family Masseria family, which included Gaetano" Tom "Reina, Tommaso" Tommy "Gagliano, and Gaetano" Tommy "Lucchese.
The Castellammarese war raged between the Masseria and Maranzano factions for nearly two years, destroying the Prohibition era operations and streets controlled by five New York families along with Irish and Jewish crime groups. The war cuts the gang's profits and, in some cases, destroys the whole world of crime among family members of crime.
Some Young Turks on both sides realized that if war did not stop soon, Italian families could be left on the criminal underworld of New York while Jewish and Irish crime bosses became dominant. In addition, they feel that Masseria, Maranzano, and other old-school mafiosi, whom they call harshly "Pete Whiskers," are too greedy to see the wealth to be gained by working with non-Italians. With this in mind, Gambino and other Turkish youths decided to end the war and form a national syndicate. On April 15, 1931, Masseria was shot dead at Nuova Villa Tammaro restaurant on Coney Island by Anastasia, Joe Adonis, Vito Genovese, and Bugsy Siegel. Maranzano then renamed himself capo in tutti capi . In a major reorganization of the New York Mafia that followed, Frank Scalise was appointed by Maranzano but demoted & amp; replaced by Vincent "The Executioner" Mangano on orders from Luciano. Mangano takes over the Mineo family, with Anastasia as his underboss, brother Phil as Consigliere, and Gambino as capo. They defended these posts after Maranzano was stabbed and shot on September 10, 1931.
Commission
In 1931, after the assassination of Masseria and Maranzano, Lucky Luciano created the Commission, which should avoid major conflicts such as the Castellammarese War. Charter members are Luciano, Joseph Bonanno, Joe Profaci, Tommy Gagliano and Vincent Mangano.
Gambino married his first cousin, Catherine Castellano, on December 5, 1926. They raised four children of Thomas, Joseph and Carlo, and a daughter, Phyllis. Gambino became the main producer in the Mangano family. Its activities include lending loans, illegal gambling and protection money from local merchants. Nonetheless, Gambino is a low-key with a tendency. She lives in a modest little house in Brooklyn. The only real evidence of futility is the plate in Buick, CG1.
Vincent and Philip Mangano
Vincent Mangano has led his family for 20 years, though he and Albert Anastasia have never seen eye-to-eye. Mangano is unhappy with Anastasia's friendship with Lucky Luciano and Frank Costello, mainly because they often use Anastasia's services without his permission. Anastasia has, since the 1930s, head of the operation of the most famous syndicate death squad, Murder, Inc., who is allegedly responsible for 900-1,000 murders. Mangano and his brother, Phil, are suspected of facing Anastasia several times, in front of Gambino. Finally, Anastasia stopped asking permission for "every little thing," increasingly making Manganos angry.
On April 19, 1951, Philip Mangano was found murdered and Vincent himself disappeared on the same day and was never found. It is thought that Anastasia killed them both. Although Anastasia never admits having a hand in Mangano's murder, he manages to convince another family head that Mangano has planned to kill him, a claim supported by Costello, the acting boss of Luciano's criminal family. Anastasia was named the new family boss, with Gambino as his underboss. Gambino is now one of the most powerful mafia in the business, with a crew making profits from extortion, illegal gambling, piracy, fraud, and murder. Shortly after that, Gambino's cousin and brother-in-law, Paul Castellano (son of Giuseppe), took over as the old Gambino crew capo.
While Gambino families enjoy increased profits, other mafias, especially Vito Genovese, grew concerned with Anastasia's highly uncertain behavior. In 1952, Anastasia ordered the murder of a Brooklyn tailor's assistant named Arnold Schuster, after watching Schuster speak on television about his role in the arrest of bank robber Willie Sutton. In killing Schuster, Anastasia has broken the Mafia rules against the killing of outsiders; as Bugsy Siegel once weirdly said, "We just kill each other." The killing brought unnecessary public scrutiny to the Mafia business. Luciano and Costello were horrified by the killing, but they could not take action against Anastasia because he was needed in a power struggle against Genovese. Genovese did not get along with Anastasia, believing that he had killed Mangano. Due to Joseph Bonanno's effort, pax Bonanno is made & amp; war avoided between two families. However, Genovese continues to hate Anastasia.
In 1957, Genovese convinced Gambino to side with him against Anastasia, Costello, and Luciano. At Genovese's suggestion, Gambino told Anastasia that they were not getting enough money from a casino in Cuba, which belonged to the Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky. After facing Lansky, Anastasia seems to throw his support at the Genovese-Gambino alliance. Shortly after, Genovese moved to Costello by hiring Vincent "Chin" Gigante to kill him. While the attempt was a failure, it was quite frightening Costello to ask the Commission for permission to retire, which they gave. Genovese took over the family and renamed it the Genovese crime family.
With Costello gone, Genovese and Gambino opted to carry out a preemptive strike against Anastasia. Gambino gave the order of murder to Joe Profaci, who then gave it to the Gallo crew, led by Joseph "Joe Gila" Gallo, and they allegedly shot Anastasia on October 25, 1957, at Cut Park Sheraton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. Gambino later became the new boss of the Mangano criminal family, who was given the Gambino evil family name.
No one was accused of murder. Some sources claim that Gambino gave the assassination order to "Joe the Blonde" Biondo, who chose Stephen Armone, Arnold "Witty" Wittenberg, and Stephen "Stevie Coogin" Grammauta to carry out the attack.
The Apalachin and Genovese fall
Genovese now believes that with Costello and Anastasia out of the way and Gambino allegedly in his debt, his path is clear to him to be the "boss boss." However, Gambino has his own mind, and quietly aligns himself with Luciano, Costello and Lansky against Genovese. The Costello-Lansky-Luciano-Gambino Alliance gained further strength after the Apalachin Conference, which was supposedly set up to officially crown Genovese as the "boss boss," ended in disaster with some of the most prominent captured mafiosi. Soon after, Costello, Luciano, and Lansky met face to face in Italy.
In 1959, Genovese was heading to Atlanta where large heroin shipments arrived. However, when he arrived, Genovese was shocked by local police, FBI and ATF. He was convicted of selling large amounts of heroin and sentenced to 15 years in the Atlanta Federal Jail. Genovese would later die in a heart attack prison in 1969.
Don Carlo
In the early 1960s, Gambino slowly moved against the staunch supporters of Anastasia, led by caporegime Armand "Tommy" Rava. With Joseph Biondo as a solid underboss, Joseph Riccobono as consigliere of Gambino, and with top caporegime, Aniello "Mr. Neil" Dellacroce, Paul "Big Paul" Castellano, Carmine "The Doctor" Lombardozzi, Joseph "Joe Piney" Armone and Carmine " Wagon Wheels "Fatico, the remaining Anastasia loyalists can never move.
Gambino quickly expanded its shelves throughout the country. New Gambino rackets were created in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. Gambino also, to regain full control of Manhattan, took over the New York Longshoremen Union, where more than 90 percent of all New York City ports are controlled. This is a good time, when money rolls out of every Gambino racket in the US and continues to grow into the most powerful criminal family in America. Gambino also made his own family policy: "Deal and Die." This is Gambino's message to every Gambino family member; heroin and cocaine are very profitable, but dangerous, and will also attract attention. The punishment for drug dealing, in the Gambino style, is death.
In the 1960s, the Gambino family had 500 (other sources had 700 or 800) soldiers, in 30 crew making the company's family $ 500 million-a-year. In 1962, his eldest son Thomas Gambino married the daughter of the mob boss Tommy Lucchese, the new head of the evil family of Gagliano, which Gambino will become as close as a partner, friend, and relative. More than 1,000 people, relatives, friends, and amico nostro ("our friends"), were present during the wedding ceremony. It has been reported that Gambino personally gave Lucchese $ 30,000 a "welcome gift" on the same day. In return, Lucchese cuts his friend into an airport racket under Lucchese's control, especially at John F. Kennedy International Airport, where all unions, management, and security are controlled by Lucchese himself. After Joseph Bonanno was forced to retire by the Commission, Vito Genovese died of a heart attack, and Tommy Lucchese died of a brain tumor, Gambino's status and power in the Commission soon increased. While the Mafia has abolished the title of "boss boss," Gambino's position gives him the power of a title to be brought, as he is now the boss of the largest, richest and strongest crime family in the country and the head of the Commission, a position that only Luciano has before Gambino.
Profaci, Gallos, and Gambino
In February 1962, the Gallo brothers kidnapped a number of prominent members of the Profaci family including the underboss Joseph Magliocco and capo Joseph Colombo. In return for their release, the brothers requested a change in the profit sharing between the crew, and initially Profaci seemed to agree, after the negotiations between Professor's kidnapper and conservliere Charles "The Sidge" LoCicero, but Profaci just waited for his time. before taking revenge on Gallos. Gallo Joseph's crew member "Joe Jelly" Gioelli was killed by Profaci's men in September, and Larry Gallo's life efforts were interrupted by police at the Brooklyn bar. The brothers started attacking the Profaci people wherever they saw them as an all-out war erupting between the two factions. Plus, Gambino and Lucchese pressed another boss to convince Profaci to resign from his title and family, but on June 6, 1962, Profaci lost the battle against cancer. He was replaced as a family boss by Joseph Magliocco, a man very much in Profaci's print. Thus, Gambino and Lucchese gave their support to the Gallo crew, where Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonanno, the long Don of the Bonanno crime family, gave his support to Magliocco and Profacis.
The Gallo crew gave up by the end of the year. With their caporegime Joseph "Joe Gila" Gallo behind bars for blackmail and murder, Gallo's crew from Red Hook did not have enough energy to continue the war against the rest of Profacis. Magliocco and Bonanno have won the Gallo wars, and intend "caution" from their "boss boss", Carlo Gambino.
Conspiracy against the Commission
With Gallos out of the way, Magliocco is able to consolidate his position and concentrate on running family affairs. However, Joseph Bonanno made plans to kill three other heads of families, which Magliocco decided to go with. The murder was addressed to Profaci capo, Joseph Colombo, who realized that the plan would mean nothing, and warned Gambino about the conspiracy of Magliocco and Bonanno against the Commission. Bonanno and Magliocco were summoned to face the Commission's judgment. While Bonanno is hiding, Magliocco faces his crime. Understanding that he followed in the footsteps of Bonanno, he was released with a $ 50,000 fine, and was forced to retire as head of the family, replaced by Joseph Colombo. One month later, Magliocco died of high blood pressure, but Gambino had other plans for Bonanno.
Bonanno War
After Magliocco's death, Bonanno had some remaining allies. Many members feel he is too power-hungry, and one, a Florida boss, St. Trafficante, Jr., once said angrily, "He's planting flags all over the world!" Some members of his family also think he spends too much time away from New York, and more in Canada and Tucson, where he has business interests. Members of the Commission decided that he no longer deserved to lead the family and replace him with a caporegime in his family, Gaspar DiGregorio. Bonanno, however, would not accept this result, breaking the family into two groups, led by DiGregorio, and the other being led by Bonanno and his son Salvatore "Bill" Bonanno. The newspaper referred to it as "The Banana Split."
Since Bonanno refused to give up his post, other Commission members felt it was time for drastic action.
Gambino is the one who will order Bonanno to be killed, but pity him and decide to give Bonanno one last chance to retire while he has his life. In October 1964, Bonanno was kidnapped by members of the Buffalo crime family, Peter and Antonino Magaddino. According to Bonanno, he was held captive in New York by his cousin, Stefano "Steve the Undertaker" Magaddino. Magaddino should represent the Commission and Gambino, and tell his cousin that he "takes up too much space in the air," a Sicilian maxim for arrogance. After much discussion, Bonanno was released and Commission members believed he would eventually retire and release his power.
Finally, DiGregorio promised a peaceful meeting in whatever region Salvatore wanted. It was an ambush. DiGregorio's children opened fire with rifles and automatic weapons at Salvatore and his comrades, who were only armed with pistols. Police estimate that more than 500 shots were fired but unusually, no one was hurt. The war lasted for two more years. The Commission initially thought they could win, but when Joseph Bonanno returned, their hopes vanished. Bonanno sent a message to his enemies, saying that for every loyalist Bonanno who was killed, he would retaliate by hitting the caporegime from the other side. Just as the Bonanno loyalists felt victory, Bonanno suffered a heart attack; he decides that he and his son will retire to Tucson, leaving his messy family to another capo, Paul Sciacca, who has replaced DiGregorio. Gambino stands as the most powerful and powerful mafia boss in the US. Has a reputation of "compassion" Gambino, making it more honorable before the Commission.
Lucchese's death
Gaetano "Tommy" Lucchese lived a quiet and stable life until he developed a fatal brain tumor and died at his home in Lido Beach, Long Island on July 13, 1967. His funeral was at Calvary Cemetery in Queens, attended by over 1,000 people. mourners, including politicians, judges, police, blackmailers, drug dealers, pimps, assassins and Gambino, who allegedly set up the entire cemetery. Lucchese was replaced as boss by Antonio "Tony Ducks" Corallo. Colombo killing
Colombo killing
It has also been theorized that Gambino went so far as to organize the shooting of Joseph Colombo, the head of the criminal family of Colombo, on June 28, 1971. Colombo survived the shooting, but remained in a coma until his death in 1978. The theory is that Joe Gallo organized the attack own. It seems that the rest of the Colombo family believes in the latter theory, because the famous Gallo has shot himself shortly afterwards. Increased media attention in Colombia is clearly disliked by other Commission members; that Lucchese withdrew the support proved by capo Paul Vario who deprived his membership of the Italian-American Civil Rights League. However Gambino who was forced to kill Colombo seems unlikely because there is no great benefit for Gambino in it. Gallo and his crew had started a war against Profaci, during which time they had kidnapped Colombo, and since Colombo was thought to have carried out a number of attacks during the war, it seems understandable that Gallo would not like it and have a design to be his own boss.
However, the theory that Gallo is responsible ignores several related factors. It is true that many powerful members were angry with Colombo for establishing the Italian-American Civil Rights League and glorifying publicity. Gambino hates publicity, always prefers to work in the shadows, and is said to be very disappointed with Colombo about this. Like his style, Gambino did not show his anger to the public. Gallo has recently been jailed where he has formed a close association with black prisoners who can serve as muscles, a fact very well known to Gambino. Colombo was shot at the CIAO (Italian-American Organization Congress which is an umbrella organization that includes the Italian-American League) with a black man who was almost instantly shot and killed. If Gambino arranges a murder, or sets the wheel to move, it is a master stroke. He was free of publicity looking for thorns by his side and he told the Colombo family to wipe out Gallo, whose predisposition to annoying violence also made Don feel unhappy. That's also the way Gambino operates: very smart, very quiet, but with the ultimate brutality.
Police are happy to accept Gallo's theory, as does the family of Colombo crime, but over time, Gambino's theory as the brain earns currency in "mass." Though it is not known who was actually responsible for the deaths, they ultimately increased the stability of the Gambino empire as the old Don faded.
Luciano.27s_death "> Luciano's death
Gambino is also the only mafia boss of Five Families who attended the funeral of an old friend, Charles "Lucky" Luciano. On January 26, 1962, Luciano died of a heart attack at the age of 64 at Naples International Airport. He was buried at St John Cemetery in Queens in 1972, more than ten years after his death due to his deportation in 1946. More than 2,000 mourners attended his funeral, where Gambino gave his own speech to commemorate Luciano, friends and friends.
Tommy Eboli's murder
After being imprisoned by Vito Genovese in 1959, Thomas "Tommy Ryan" Eboli was made an acting boss. He retained his position after Genovese died in prison in 1969, but, believing that he would need a cash injection to reorganize the Genovese crime family, Eboli borrowed $ 4 million from Gambino. Eboli's ability to repay funds, however, was hindered by the subsequent arrest and imprisonment of the crew; The arrest was allegedly arranged by Gambino because he wanted his friend Frank Tieri in the head of the Genovese family. When the loan matures, Eboli refuses to pay Gambino, claiming that he does not have enough money. Eboli was murdered on July 16, 1972 - an unsolved crime - and, under the influence of Gambino, the election of Frank Tieri as the Genovese family crime boss was made.
Constant monitoring
In December 1972, a van marked "Organized Crime Oversight Bureau" began parking outside Gambino's home in Brooklyn. Inside the van, the FBI mass squads monitored in-house events using cameras, lip readers, and audio surveillance equipment, including microphones and Gambino-implanted wires. The FBI maintains a 24-hour standby in the van, hoping to connect Gambino with organized crime. However, Gambino continues to do business at home using a combination of silent movements and encoded languages. According to FBI officials, they once recorded a meeting between Gambino, Aniello Dellacroce and Joseph Biondo, where Biondo simply said, "Frog legs," and Gambino just nodded. The recording was empty. It was also determined by OCCB that Antonio Mangotti and Carlo Gambino had not spoken a word to each other for two years until the birth of his son Antonio "Jovanni" Mangotti on 29 August 1972. It was said that the only words uttered were "Complimenti" and " Grazie "
Emanuel "Manny" Gambino kidnapping and murder
In May 1972, Gambino's niece, Emanuel "Manny" Gambino was kidnapped by James McBratney, "Crazy" Eddie Maloney, Warren "Chief" Schurman, Richie Chaisson, and fellow criminal family of Colombo Thomas Genovese (distant relative of Vito Genovese). The gang had previously kidnapped Lucchese's crime family capo, Frank "the Mano's" Frankie the Wop. They received a $ 150,000 ransom for Manzo's safe return. For Manny Gambino, the kidnappers asked for $ 350,000, but his brother claimed that he could only make $ 40,000. On June 2, 1972, Manny's car was located in the parking lot of Newark Airport. On January 26, 1973, his corpse was found stiff from rigor mortis before being buried in a sitting position at a New Jersey dump near the Earle Navy Ammunition Dep.
On December 4, 1972, Robert Senter was arrested and charged with the Gambino murder. Flashlight is a gambler and has fallen in debt with Manny Gambino. On June 1, 1973, he pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Along with acknowledging his participation in kidnapping and murder, he reveals the identity of his two henchmen, Chaisson and Schurman.
Gambino, taking his revenge, hired John Gotti, a known heavy lifter, for his underboss suggestion, Aniello Dellacroce. Gotti meets with Gambino, Dellacroce, consigliere Joseph Armone and Gambino's own stepbrother and top caporegime, Paul Castellano. Gotti was given the task of killing James McBratney, the leader of the mine-to-ransom gangs, who played a major role in the murder of Manny Gambino. Castellano also wants the Gambino family soldier, Ralph Galione, to help Gotti and Gambino family associate Angelo Ruggiero, in committing murder. McBratney was shot three times from close range by Galione, after he defeated Ruggiero and Gotti, on the night of 22 May 1973, at Snoope's Bar & amp; Grill on Staten Island. Gambino and "cement overcoat" Gambino and "
Although members of Cosa Nostra show great respect to their superiors, there are some cases of members who disrespect or humiliate their fellow human beings. A very famous case is Dominick "Mimi" Scialo - a feared and respected warrior of the Colombo family who has control over the vast area of ​​Coney Island. When under the influence of alcohol, Scialo would be very arrogant, loud and disrespectful. One day in October 1974, Scialo was at a popular Italian restaurant where he saw Carlo Gambino and started harassing him, insulting Gambino in front of others. Gambino remained calm, as usual, did not reply and did not utter a word. Scialo's body was discovered shortly after at Otto's Social Club in South Brooklyn wrapped in concrete floor.
Gambino family regroup
Gambino disappointed with his own underboss, Aniello Dellacroce and Dellacroce ambitious gà ©  © John Gotti, so Gambino reorganized. Now, with a weak heart, he decides there are two underbosses who both report to him, Dellacroce and Gambino's own brother-in-law, Paul Castellano. Dellacroce will be free to control crews who perform more traditional 'hands-on' Mafia activities and blue collar crimes, such as murder for hire, moneylenders, gambling, extortion, piracy, theft of wharves, fencing, and robbery. Castellano took over the white-collar crime in Brooklyn like a union conspiracy, solid and toxic waste, recycling, construction, deception and wire fraud. This strategic restructuring also created confusion in the FBI in the mid-1970s about who the official underboss was in the family. In fact, the Gambino family is divided into two separate factions, with one Don and two underbosses.
Final decision
In his final years, Gambino still ruled his family and other New Yorkers with an iron fist, while maintaining a low stance both from the public and law enforcement. He must choose who he will appoint as his successor after his death. He chose his brother-in-law and capo, Paul Castellano, for his underboss, Aniello Dellacroce. Dellacroce, though disappointed, trusted the "Godfather" judgment, and remained silent.
Death and burial
Gambino died in the morning hours of Friday, October 15, 1976, at his home in Massapequa, New York, after watching a New York Yankees television broadcast winning the American League banner the night before. The official cause is a natural cause; However, his death was unexpected, given the recent history of heart disease. Cusimano & amp; Russo Funeral Home hosted his revival on 16 and 17 October 1976. His funeral mass was held on October 18, 1976, at Our Lady of Grace Church in Brooklyn. Gambino is then buried in his family's private room at Cloister Saint John's Cemetery, Queens in New York City. She is buried next to his wife, Catherine, who died in 1971. Gambino left the children of Thomas, Joseph and Carlo, and daughter Phyllis.
The long associate Charles Luciano and many other lifelong friends were also buried at St. John's Cemetery. After leading the Gambino crime family for 20 years, and the Commission for more than 15 years, Gambino left a crew estimated to number 500 soldiers and 1,000 colleagues. Some sources state that the Gambino cemetery was attended by at least 2,000 people, including police officers, judges and politicians, and that his funeral procession exceeded 100 vehicles.
