FBI surveillance photos of Joseph Meringolo (1921-2016) taken in Utica, New York.
The report accompanying the photographs notes that Meringolo had been identified by a Bureau source as a made member of the Bufalino Family, although his name does not appear on available membership lists and hierarchy charts from the time period.
Those same charts do include Joseph's younger brother, William 'Brooklyn Willie' Meringola (1925-2008). They were born in Manhattan to a father from Calabria's Cosenza province, living first in Tribeca, Manhattan before moving to Downtown Brooklyn.
By the 1970s Joseph Meringolo, a member of IBT Local 707, resided in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey and worked for Howard's Express in nearby Rutherford. He died in September 2016.
