Interesting that despsite being born in Buffalo in 1914, He was in Chicago by his late teens/early 20's.
Since the 1910's and early 20s, the Chicago mob under Colosimo and Torrio, allegedly had ties to Buffalo NY. One example was already shown in one of the forum threads regarding one Tom "Tommy the Wop" Fusco being brought from Buffalo to Chicago regarding the execution of Mossy Enright. Fusco was allegedly brought by one of Colosimo's enforcers in the union biz, Mike Carrozzo.
So it is possible that one part of the Carlisi clan arrived in Chicago through that same connection and its quite interesting that Carlisi "coincidentally" ended up under the old Torrio/Capone crew which during the 30's, 40's and 50's one part from that same group was headed by Ralph Capone, Claude Maddox and Joey Aiuppa (Carlisi's predecessor).
