Porter was half Italian on his mother's side. FriendofHarry's knows more, I have him made in the early 1980's, right before Genovese took over. Porter was real close to Michael.
Giacomo as always thanks for your insight pal.. so half italian in the
80s gets u straightened out in Shittsbugh eh? And he's advanced to Ub..damn Chucky must have been some kind of earner to garner that position...just anguess but by the early 80s was the Pitt family in decline and their recruiting piol drying up like we've sern in other areas? Just speculation of course.. i know little to nothing about the pitt fam and they did have Mike Genovese firmly in power then until what 10 yrs ago
Chucky was a huge earner running barbut games at the Beacon Club, a Squirrel Hill Social Club. He also ran a bookmaking operation with Teamster boss Mark Houmis where they infiltrated the Pittsburgh Post Gazette Truck Drivers Union where Mike Genovese Jr and Johnny LaRocca III are still employed. When the late 1970's came around, Porter partnered up with Lou Raucci, Paul Hankish (Wheeling, WV Crime Boss), and Eugene Gesuale, his longtime neighborhood friend who made the original coke deal through Paul Mazzei, aka The Pittsburgh Connection (from Goodfellas)
