Prior to their wedding, they had a daughter in 1961. As a couple, they had three sons and two daughters together; Angel, Victoria, John, Frank, and Peter Gotti. Unfortunately, tragedy struck on a gloomy day in the month of March 1980, when Victoria Digiorgio lost her fourth child and second son Frank who was only 12 years old at the time to the cold hands of death in a fatal car accident which occurred in their neighborhood.
