Born in Sicily on June 15, 1909, Paul Sciacca was a member of the Bonanno Family who was catapulted to acting boss during the Family’s volatile Banana War years. He was a very low-profile, longtime member of the Bonnano Family who only had one arrest in his lifetime.
For many years, he lived in Brooklyn. By the early 1960s, he settled into a high ranch-style home at 31 Lake Court in Massapequa in Long Island.
Sciacca was a business-oriented soldier who, early in his career, gained partnerships in several large garment factories. He first operated Sands Fashions and later expanded with a second operation under the name S&S Garments Inc., both in Brooklyn.
At one point in the 1960s, his clothing firms won a government contract worth over $1,000,000 to manufacture military uniforms. This was a huge sum of money for that era and reflects the size and capacity of his “contract shops” to service the contract bid.
