From the Boys

Ya ever take notice when a big-shot mobster kicks the bucket and The Boys put on his fancy funeral? The size of the crowd that shows up to pay their respects says it all, my friend. It’s a reflection of the man’s stature, see? And let’s not forget those funeral wreaths, are a display of his importance. The more wreaths, the more influential the guy. And you know what those wreaths say? “From the Boys,” loud and clear.

But let’s face it, pal. The mob life ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a world of murder, chaos, and spilled blood. Each of these guys left their mark on The Life, for better or worse. I ain’t here to pass judgment, just giving you the cold, hard facts or who they were, and where you can go and pay your respects.

C.F Marciano

C.F Marciano

C.F. Marciano is a mob historian with a taste for the dark, smoky corners of New York’s underworld—and the cocktails that fueled it. Known for his gritty, unapologetic style, Marciano writes mafia blogs that bleed with bullets, bourbon, and betrayal. His book Make Him a Drink He Can’t Refuse blends true crime and booze with the precision of a made man mixing a Manhattan. With a razor-sharp focus on the New York Mafia of the 1930s through the 1960s, Marciano doesn’t just tell mob stories—he pours them straight up, no chaser.
