John and his brother William Veasey were brothers who grew up in the rough and tumble streets of South Philadelphia, and as young adults they followed the same track by working for the Mafia. John, the younger brother, was the tougher and more violent of the two, advancing quickly as a mobster. He became a hit man and a capo, in one of the two factions in Philadelphia's organized-crime family. William, known as Billy, worked on the fringes of the mob as an associate and was never formally inducted as a member of the crime family. The Veasey brothers were aligned with the Stanfa faction. He was also a friend and associate to fellow hit man, and alleged lover, Philip Colletti.
