Im going with Ettore Coco; His longevity was unmatched in the family; Guy was a captain; part of the administration (I believe) in the 60’s…
He was a candidate for boss of the family after Carmine Tramunti got “busted”
He operated in the family in the 1970’s as a old-man; Didn’t he have operations in Florida???
He served as “Acting Consigliere” when Corallo; Santoro and Chris Furnari was on trial in the 1980’s….
Guy made a lot of money… and have seen a lot in his long tenure in the family…
Didn’t Amuso and Casso make him retire right before he died in the early 90’s??
I think he's a very respectable choice ZV....Lets see who else has an opinion on this question, and then I'll throw my two-cents in for what its worth, ok? lol.
I think Coco isn't really the best choice here, since he spent too much time in jail, of which 10 years were for a rather stupid murder which wasn't even mafia-related (argument over the payment for a car wash or something like that). I agree he was powerful, but if we consider avoiding prison as an important factor for a successful mafioso, then imo Coco doesn't competely qualify...
