Bosses who did it the right way, low profile, minimal or no time in prison include:

James Lanza- San Francisco over 30 years
Frank Amato Sr- Pittsburgh 20 years
John LaRocca- Pittsburgh 28 years
Anthony Milano- Cleveland 40+ yearsm
John Scalish- Cleveland 32 years
Russell Bufalino- Northeastern PA 40+ years
Michael Genovese- Pittsburgh 22 years
Jack Tocco- Detroit 35 years
Luigi Manocchio- New England 13 years

Joe Todaro- Buffalo 28 years
Joe Zerilli- Detroit 40+ years
Nick Civella- Kansas City 30 years
Joe Civello- Dallas 15 years

I don't know why everybody only mentions NY & Chicago bosses, there are plenty more who had major influence and were able to escape law enforcement with minimal or no time in prison.
