[edit] Early career

George and Frankie did not get along well with each other due to the fact that they had different mothers. Frankie did not think George was pure enough to the family so George went to school to become an officer. On their father's death bed, Lucas told Frankie to accept George and to consider letting him in before they turn on each other.[1]

Frankie was in heat with many of the Chicago Outfit crime lords and was in hot water. George asked to help Frankie and he ended up with a job of securing a deal with Joseph Aiuppa. Aiuppa did not agree to the terms and the Cavanaugh Family took Aiuppa as a threat. Aiuppa was found dead almost a year later.[2] Police suspected Frankie but he was never convicted.

Frankie liked having the help from George and gave him a job running trades, meetings, and deals. George liked the fact that he allegedly was not in the crime yet he still had a name in the family.[3]

[edit] Life

George married Mary O'Connell in December 1985. George and Mary were conserved and George had taken control of the business so they didn't think of children yet. Mary got pregnant and on July 23, 1986 Mary and George welcomed Andrew Michael Cavanaugh into the world. A year later Mary was pregnant again with Anna Marie Cavanaugh. She was born on April 17, 1989.[4]

[edit] Command

On September 6, 1985, Frankie was leaving his North Side home and was being shot at although the bullets missed him. George Cavanaugh, his brother, now was getting used to his brothers business. George did not know what he meant but by a meeting and thought to stay away.[5]

Frankie told his brother of the war and said he had to take out a boss of the Outfit and he chose Charles Inglese. On August 13, 1987, Frankie found out that Inglese was going to a coffee shop in a suburb of Chicago to do business.[6] Inglese was also doing business on Frankie's area of rule. When Frankie got there he found Inglese there dealing drugs to the shop manager and pulled out a gun and shot at him. He had shot Inglese twice in the head and twice in the chest, a stray bullet also struck the manager in the head. Both men had died and police were on the scene in moments. Frankie was sentenced to 20 years in jail on September 10th,1987 at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary.[7]

[edit] Cavanaugh & Ferriola

George Cavanaugh and the NorthSiders were moving in new shipments into the upper Lake Michigan harbor. When Joseph Ferriola found out this was happening he investigated the shipment and ended up rigging the transport ship with a bomb. The ship had blown up on its path from Chicago to Connecticut. George caught wind of this and found out it was Ferriola. George had sent three men to pose as waiters at a meeting between Ferriola and Samuel Carlisi and other bosses. George sent James "Jimmy O" Oshea and Narshall Lanahuew and another man to take out Ferriola and Carlisi.[8]

On December 15, 1988, Ferriola and Carlisi arrived at a privately owned restaurant in west Chicago.[9] Jimmy O and Lanahuew seated the two and the other man posed as a waitor and brought them food. When Ferriola wanted the check O'Shea and Lanahuew came out and had guns in their coat jackets. Ferriola handed O'Shea money and Lanahuew opened fire on them. Two of their guards were killed and Carlisi was shot in the arm. O'Shea, Lanahuew and the other man left the restaurant and police arrived minutes later.[10]

In February 1989, Ferriola acquired information introducing George as the leader of the hit he wanted to strike back. George was in New York with employers though. Ferriola sent Gill Valerio and two others to George's home and they had kidnapped Andrew and the pregnant Mary. When George arrived home that evening he heard from his guards that it was Ferriola and George sent men to negotiate with him. The next morning he found them to be dead. George confronted Ferriola in person and ended up having a gun to Ferriola's head as O'Shea and Lanahuew detained his guards. Ferriola released Andrew and Mary to him. Ferriola was furious and was getting ready to retaliate but started feeling pain and health issues occurred . A month later Ferriola had died in the hospital trying to receive a heart transplant. Carlisi took command of the Chicago Outfit but did not retaliate on Ferriola's behalf.[11]

[edit] Cavanaugh vs. Cuerez

George assumed command of his brothers business and had help from Jimmy O'Shea (Son of his fathers long time best friend). The two lead the Northsiders to a war in 1992 against the Cuerez Brothers (Little Known gang in New York).[12]

George ordered Jimmy O to take out Armando Cuerez (Leader) and Jimmy fled to New York. New York police found Armando dead at his home the next morning and Jimmy was already home. A month later Jimmy and George were meeting with Antonio Cuerez to sign for piece between the rivals and the meeting broke in to gunfire wounding Jimmy and killing Antonio.[13]

George and Jimmy had gotten cleared of all charges on a self-defense case and were aloud to leave.[14]

[edit] Recent Years

George ran the gang through October 2007 when his brother Frankie was released on the 18th from prison. Frankie re-assumed the throne and George happily took over as his under-boss and Jimmy as a guard.[15]
