I guess that would be the bosses convicted in the Commission case back in 1986/1987. Furnari (Lucchese consigliere) and Carmine Persico are still alive.

Another made guy who was sentenced to life in 1988 is Antonino Aiello, the father of Tony "Ace" Aiello.

"Antonino Aiello, a heavyset and muscular man...was a millionaire several times over. Agents had seen him meeting Bonanno capo Salvatore Catalano and other major heroin traffickers at the Cafe Aiello during the massive FBI-DEA Pizza Connection investigation, but for tactical reasons they opted not to nab Antonino in April 1984 when they rounded up Catalano and 30 others.

Seven months later, on November 14, 1984, when a task force of detectives and federal agents raided his Middle Village home, they seized nine rifles and handguns and $91,000, but not Antonino. He wasn't at his father's home either, where agents seized $900,000 and $30,000 in "buy money" that an undercover cop had used to purchase heroin at a Harlem pizzeria that he owned, Tony's Pizza Parlor. They arrested his father, Vito, who would serve eight months in prison for holding the cash and guns for his son.

Two years later, on November 16, 1986, cops and FBI agents nabbed Antonino, who had changed his name, lost weight, grown a beard, and dyed his hair, in Patchogue, L.I. They also arrested his wife, Elizabeth, who was later convicted of harboring a fugitive and sentenced to three years' probation.

Antonino was convicted in 1988 as a heroin kingpin. Today, at age 66, [the article was written in 2005] he is serving life plus 140 years at Marion Federal Penitentiary. Several appeals of his conviction and severe sentence have failed, and in a landmark 1990 ruling, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a forfeiture of more than $5 million in cash, jewelry, businesses, and properties."
