Def not Conte...Looks to me like Nicky Corozzo.
He does look like he could be a Corozzo.

I think he was the only one who ever used, and he was cleaned up when he hooked up with Gotti. As Bronx said, he was no money maker, but a tough guy kept close by Gotti.

I’m certain now that the last mug is a young Nick Corozzo. Good call. I can definitely see it when comparing it to the black and white pic from the 80s http://mafia.wikia.com/wiki/Nicholas_Corozzo

Roach did clean up for awhile but the siren call of the poppy caught his ear. Armond 'Buddy' Dellacroce did dope and caught the bug. Unbelivable but they actually announced the HIV positive status after autopsy to let any of his partners know to get tested. He was on gotti shitlist for copping a plea and than getting in the wind before sentencing in the racketeering case in SDNY.

The corpse of Dominick 'Mimi' Scialo who made the lethal mistake of harassing Carlo Gambino: I was just reading about him. Why on earth would he insult Carlo? I'm assuming he was drunk but still that's beyond crazy Carlo: "I'm the boss..& this fuck insults me?.. I want him to look bad when they find him..real bad..u got it??..(Underling): ….U got it boss..
I didn't want to leave blood on your carpet...

Was Frank Punchy Illiano a boxer? I read it somewhere that he was and that it was the reason for the nickname. Is that truth or myth? Yes he was a boxer in his teens, he was in the Crazy Joe Gallo crew but was very close to Larry Gallo. After Joe Gallo was killed he and Albert ‘Kid Blast’ Gallo we’re absorbed into the Genovese borgata. He was close to Chin through boxing. He flew low under the radar and never caught any pinches that I know of and was supposedly highly respected. Some of my info came from DeMatteos book ‘growing up mafia’ I have a photo on my phone of Punchy and Larry Gallo as kids taken in a photobooth together. I’m not really tech savvy and don’t know how to shrink it to 200kb maybe someone else can find it on Pinterest and repost for us. Just query Larry Gallo.

how was the book? I've thought about reading it.[/quote] I didn’t really like the book much, author probably is or was a knockaround and supposedly was close to Albert Gallo. I respect the author because he stayed old school and didn’t air any laundry but seemed like he had a hard on for Albert Gallo and Punchy for giving up the Gallo war and getting made into the ‘West Side Crew’ he mentioned Bobby Borriello I learned they are from same south Brooklyn hood. If anyone here is from the d Gowanus area n red hook maybe they know who all the characters are but I never heard of most of them but I was raised in the city so that place was out of bounds to me.
