I feel strangely guilty.

Former mob enforcer who, after being convicted for murder, went on to become an author and podcaster Jerry Tillinghast has died aged 75

Mario Gigante (wiki), New York mobster and member of the Genovese crime family, dead at 98. Brother of the far more notable Vincent "The Chin" Gigante (wiki, 1928–2005).



To my knowledge, he was the oldest notable member of any of the U.S. crime families.

Only one of the Gigante brothers left alive – Louis Gigante (wiki), who was a Catholic priest and stayed out of organised crime but is alleged to have sexually abused young boys. I can't find an age for him anywhere.

[Death Impends 7,953]

Mario Gigante is what happens after he gets one of those mushrooms, I think?

[drol 11,912]

His wiki page reports his name as "Mario Esposito Vulgo Gigante". Actually "vulgo" in Italian means "known as", so it should sound as "Mario Esposito" known as "Giant", where "Giant" must be the family's "nickname".

He was 85 in 2017, so he will be 90 this year.

Kenichi Shinoda, the longtime boss of Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi and a "supreme godfather/kingpin" in the country is still alive at 80. Seems to have been very quiet during recent years.

 

I'm also suprised that Russia's capo dei capi, putin crony Semion Mogilevich is still alive at 75. He's never looked like the picture of health

Canadian gangster Curtis Vidal has died as a result of multiple gunshot wounds. Vidal is alleged to have had connections to the Hells Angels. His brother was the victim of an unsolved 2019 homicide.

While not a mobster himself (he’s a dentist), he is the brother of two mobsters and gives us a chance to re-read the story of their demise.

 

One of Chicago's most notable names has died. Patrick Spilotro, who was known as Dr. Pat and the "Stand-up Spilotro," died at age 85 at the end of April, his family said.
Patrick was the older brother to a pair of Chicago mobsters who met a merciless death in an Indiana cornfield decades ago.

Cosimo Di Lauro, aka "o' Chiatto" ("Fat Boy"), dead at 48. Leading camorrista, but perhaps best known outside of Italy for being the inspiration for the character of Genny in Gomorrah.
