Another no-nonsense Genovese Family captain was Lawrence (Larry Black) Centore.

A longtime member of Jimmy Blue Eyes Bronx crew, Larry Black would eventually rise to lead Alo’s old regime.

Real good one, there definitely isn't enough about Larry Black out there. I remember Pizzaboy would mention him a lot.

Just one thing, I wouldn't refer to Williamsbridge as "near Yankee Stadium".. It's about as far as you can get while still being in The Bronx Just a small thing in an otherwise great write-up. Thanks NYMafia.

Thanks RB

Interesting article, thanks for the information. But how did the 1981 indictment end? Was Centore convicted?

Good question. I was unable to pull his final disposition in that case.

But by and large I think he either skated, or received a minor punishment. It was still a different era. Before Rico was being used a lot. And his many cases were usually handled in the local courts which were more lenient.

I know that he was never registered in the federal system with the BOP
