ALS signed “Johnny,” two pages, lightly-lined, 8.5 x 11, no date, but postmarked February 17, 1999. Letter to Barbara DeCicco, daughter of George DeCicco, New York mobster and longtime Capo in the Gambino crime family. In part: “First let me tell you that the doctors found no cancer on the 22nd, and I’m scheduled for my next important tests next Friday Feb. 19th. All in all I feel fit as a fiddle! As for my son John, he knows you and family are pulling for him—I hope that he remains steadfast about not accepting any plea. I told him I wouldn’t take the plea if the penalty was only two tickets to the opera!…Now to the important part, you mention that Butters [Joe ‘Butter’ DiCicco] granddaughter is having heart surgery at 14 years old that’s heart breaking—I know everything will be fine as they’re doing wonders with the heart now—still it has to be killing her parents, grandparents and her! I wish I knew this last week when my daughter Vicki visited. She’s the chairperson—Has been the past 3 years—of the national heart ass. She is close friends with all the heart specialists and surgeons in the New York area…In any event—don’t think poorly of me Barbara, but I don’t pray, not for any special reason that’s just my make up—But my heart and wishes are with her. Please tell her mother and Butter for me. As for you getting test to see if you are a match – First of all you are super kind, and super courageous. I’m sure the intended recipient is a deserving and good person, and you are special. Again my heart and most profound wishes are with you for a match and success.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Gotti’s hand and signed “Gotti #18261-053” in the return address area. Less than two months later, against his father’s wishes, Gotti’s son agreed to a plea bargain.
