Fortunately Henry never allowed me to even consider "The Life". I was truly a "Family Friend", but a very close friend.
Thus a simple answer to the question: Yes, Henry was made late in life by Michael in a very private ceremony.

As you would suspect: Murder was never discussed - period.

As I previously stated: Henry was part of Jo Jo's original crew. He went with Joe to West Virginia. He built a really nice ranch home not far from the clubs and lived with his second wife, Sheila and raised their daughters.

Henry started as a bus-boy at Club 30 then as pit-boss at theJockey Club and finally as Casino Manager at the Red Dog.

After the clubs closed in West Virginia, he was the Jo Jo's go between with Paul Hankish, Pat Ferruccio and Lenny Strollo. He and Pat were avid stamp collectors ;-) Henry also managed a homemade pasta business in New Castle, Pa.

As the All-American Club in Campbell grew into one of the highest grossing casinos outside of Las Vegas, he was assigned to protect Pittsburgh's sizeable interests.It was under Lenny's control and managed by his lifelong friend, Bernie the Jew. Bernie, a degenerate gambler, real tough guy and loose cannon, became harder to manage. Thus Zebo, one of the very few that Bernie feared and more important, respected, spent most of his evenings at the club.

After Joey Naples death, Lenny really got too full of himself. BTW: Lenny didn't order Joey's demise. Michael grew concerned that Lenny would really go off the rails and insisted that Zebo be made. After-all, how could/would Lenny, a made man himself, take orders from a non made man?

Henry never wanted to be made as he always felt he didn't need a target on his back, just let me make money. As I learned in later years, Henry always felt that Jo Jo held him back because he refused to be made. He always felt that he didn't make the kind of money he deserved and realized that this was his opportunity. If fact he told me he never made any real money until Michael took over.

Ultimately his dream was the casino on the Indian reservation. All of that came to an end with Chuckie. Additionally Henry was diagnosed with a terminal bone cancer. He was placed on a donor list but felt that one of his "close" FBI friends may have held him back. Thus his early death ;-(

in reading the posts about Cleveland, didn't see anything about the danny greene- john nardi war. the book "kill the Irishman" says danny greene killed 8 made Cleveland guys who were out to kill him.

says john nardi was using greene and his celtic club to help him rise to boss of the Cleveland family.

I just call them like I see them.

Funnily enough I just watched the film version of this last night, never having heard about Danny Greene, the man had 9 lives.
It's either called Kill the Irishman or Bulletproof Ganster, worth a watch, haven't read the book.
Also the guy who planted the bomb that killed him turned and his arrest led to the Mafia Commission Trial.

If you're referring to a guy from Youngstown as the "guy who planted the bomb": He never turned. He did his time and now spends most of his time in Florida.

The young lady in the produce business, depicted in To Kill the Irishman, was also from Youngstown.

Good post, Henry.

Best poster in regards to Ohio .
