Joseph N.

Joseph N. Gallo should not be confused with "Crazy Joey" Gallo from the Colombo crime family. He is the father of Gambino crime family associate Joseph C. Gallo. After Gotti took control of the Family, he removed Gallo as Consigliere and replaced him with Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, who later became the Underboss of the Family and a government informant. Gallo died of natural causes in Astoria, Queens. Gallo's chauffeur and bodyguard was Frank DiStefano
