At the time, it was the Magaddino Memorial Chapel, its proprietor known as Don Stefano, or simply The Old Man, possibly the longest-reigning kingpin in the history of the American Mafia.

The paychecks their employees left work with every Friday fed the mob, whether they were spent on bootlegged booze during Prohibition, bet on poker or football games with The Old Man's network of bookies, or wasted on the drugs that he shepherded into the city in the later years of his reign.

Until they fell out much later, he could rely on support from his cousin Stefano Magaddino, the head of the Buffalo crime family, and in Brooklyn from Joe Profaci, with whom he remained very tight until Profaci's death in 1962.

By the time of Profaci's death in 1962 Bonanno had become convinced that some of the other family chiefs - especially Carlo Gambino, Tommy Lucchese and even his cousin Magaddino - were plotting his downfall.
