I believe Pasquale "Paddy Mack" Macchiarole was a soldier in his crew before taking over as a capo when Jimmy Nap died.
Thats incorrect, Malavita.
Paddy Mack had been a member, and later became a capo, many years before Jimmy Nap even got straightened out. Furthermore, Macchiarole got "whacked out" not long after Napoli was inducted in the mid-1970s, and obviously, before Napoli was later elevated to a capo post.
Here is a true, accurate biography that I wrote profiling Napoli's life and career.
Genovese Capo: Vincent (Jimmy Nap) Napoli Sr.
https://thenewyorkmafia.com/vincenzo-jimmy-nap-napoli-genovese-family/If he was made in the 70s he couldn’t have been capo for very long, what 10-15 years? I was always under the impression he was at least eligible becoming a capo due to his efficiency in the gambling side of the family.
And what about Rocco? I seen an instagram page calling him a ‘soldier, under his father capo Jimmy Nap’ any truth to this?
Jimmy was always a very well respected guy. And, quite frankly, he really didn't want to be inducted. That is a fact. All through the 1950s, 1960s and into the 1970s, he operated at as high a level, and often, at a higher level, than many made guys, even some captains.
Jimmy was already well into his mid-60s by the time he accepted the 'honor' of induction. And, arguably, it was the worst move he ever made! He only accepted it because Chin pushed it on him.
And no, Rocco was never brought in. For that matter, his two other sons, Tony and Jimmy Jr., whom everybody called Lefty, were never brought in either. Because even though each was a hoodlum in his own way, Jimmy did not want that for his boys.
