I also knew Pat Ferruccio who I belie started out in Cleveland. I met him after he switched over to Pittsburgh.
I believe he was also involved with Henry in the Rincon River Oaks Casino deal that the Feds interrupted ;-)
Yes, during my research about this crew I observed that Ferruccio was very close to many of Cleveland's guys. To the point that it was said he originally operated "with" them, before later realigning with Pittsburgh. But even afterwards he always maintained warm relations and connections with the Scalish/Licavoli Family.
