Marino sent his son Angelo Marino to California to operate the cheese factory for him. He retired and moved to California in 1965. He was the principal figure in a libel suit that former San Francisco Mayor brought against Look Magazine after the publication alleged Joseph Alioto was linked to Marino and other organized crime members. Marino testified during the Alioto libel case that he had been involved in the slot machine and numbers rackets in Pennsylvania. He passed away in 1974.
