When John Riggi became the official boss of the DeCavalcante family he made Rotondo his underboss. For years Rotondo lived and operated in the Brooklyn area, operating in Manhattan often, he was also a close confidant of Gaetano Vastola, the two were paired together for well over two decades. Rotondo was considered a no-nonsense type of mobster. He held influence over the Brooklyn waterfront and was identified as an 'organizer' for Local 1814 of the ILA. In January of 1988, Rotondo's bullet riddled body was found in his new Lincoln Continental, with a jar of rotting fish in the car. The car was parked in front of his Brooklyn residence. It was widely believed that Riggi approved Rotondo's murder. It was believed that he was killed because he had introduced a criminal associate to many members of the DeCavalcante family who later turned out to be an informant. It is said that John Gotti attended his wake and stated that no war was to erupt over the killing. Years later, his son Anthony Rotondo, became a capo in the DeCavalcante family and later turned informant.
