While Catena wasn't one of the guys I listed, I have to say that Catena was, as you say, extremely "well heeled." Very much so. In fact, Catena was one of the wealthiest (most successful and most powerful) guys around, bar none.

And although Catena never became the "official" boss of the old Luciano/Genovese Family, he had been a close intimate of that Family's NJ hierarchy since the 1930s era, and even before that, he dated back to the days of NJ rackets boss Longy Zwillman.

In later years, as a clear sign of how trusted his was for his moneymaking abilities, temperament and loyalty, Vito elevated him to "acting boss" as his eyes and ears over the membership and to steady the ship after Genovese was jailed for narcotics.

Jerry Catena was SOOOO wealthy and happy where he was, and the station he had in life, that as he aged he actually shunned the thought of becoming the official boss. So he migrated down to South Florida and essentially retired. After all, what did he need at that point?

Smart man! In fact, one of the smartest IMO.
