Thomas Bilotti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Bilotti (March 23, 1940 - December 16, 1985) was an underboss of the Gambino Family and driver of Paul Castellano's. He was killed along with Castellano outside Sparks Steak House in 1985, apparently on the orders of John Gotti. Bilotti was a minor figure until Castellano chose him as a bodyguard and driver. When he was killed he had a six week old child with a live-in lover, who had a break down. The child was cared for by its mother's sister, while the grandmother cared for the child's mother.
