Giuseppe Bonanno

a.k.a. "Joe Bananas" , a Sicilian-born American Mafioso who became the boss of the Bonanno crime family. He was nicknamed "Joe Bananas," a name he despised because it made him sound crazy.

He is said to have been one of the models for the character "Vito Corleone" in Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather. Both Bonanno and Corleone wanted their sons to succeed them, and both allegedly wanted their crime families to stay out of the narcotics rackets (although many of soldiers and associates of Bonanno crime family were dealing in drugs, most known was later Boss of family Carmine Galante).
