Gotti Family Tree
The most notorious of the Gambimo / Gotti family tree was John Gotti. born in the Bronx on October 27, 1940. His family moved into a tough neighborhood in Brooklyn when he was 12. John began to love the streets and dropped out of school in 8th grade. After spending years performing small crimes and gaining respect in the underworld, he became affiliated with the Gambino family in 1966. In the family, John made a lot of money hijacking freight trucks at Kennedy airport. The Gambino under boss Aneillo Delacroce became good friends with him and took him under his wing like a son. Despite a minor setback of 3 years in prison from a hijacking, John moved up in the family quickly.

The funeral was attended by over 100 members of the Gambino family and his personal family, proving the Gotti Family Tree had much loyalty as well as it was crooked.
