Gambino Update

The Gambino Family Ceremonies (1970s) post has been updated with two additional members, both named Joseph Russo.

1. Joseph or Joey Russo, co-owner of the Villa Russo in Queens, was identified as a Gambino Soldier by one of the FBI's member sources in June 1980. He died in or around 1986.

2. Joseph Cosmo Russo, son to Former Capodecina Gaetano (1891-1970) of Cusimano and Russo Funeral Homes, was confirmed as a made member shortly after his death in 1991. He was in the DeCicco (formerly John Riccobono) crew and was likely inducted prior to 1980.
