One of DeSimone's earliest acts as crime boss was attendance at the ill-fated 1957 Mafia convention in Apalachin, NY. L.A. mafioso Simone Scozzari, with whom DeSimone is often confused, was also in attendance at that convention.
DeSimone died of natural causes on Aug. 4, 1967, leaving the Los Angeles Family to Nicolo Licata.
