One of the posters on another forum made a list of Carmine Persico's real family members that are either made men or associates of the Colombo Family. The list is about 30 or 40 people. Including Vic Orena and his all his kids. Also, Andy "mush" Russo and his kids. As long as Carmine is alive, he will have one of his real family members as the acting boss. When Carmine Persico dies, his son Little Allie Boy will probably take over as official boss (if he hasn't already). The Persico faction will be around for a while IMO.
