Stracci family capo

"Godfather is a term used by his friends, one of affection, one of respect." The title of this article is a nickname.

This man was a caporegime in the Stracci family who controlled the docks in Northern Jersey. He was known to be a very capable and seasoned leader and through his efforts the Stracci family took sixty percent of the profits from narcotics distribution because the drugs were unloaded on the New Jersey docks. In 1955, he along with Don Victor Stracci, were murdered in an elevator, by Peter Clemenza while heading to a meeting.
