There's a photo with some guy called Bobby Ross with Gaspipe Casso and Vic Orena. Anyone know who Bobby Ross is?

Bobby Ross was a Colombo guy around Vic Orena and Aloi.

It is NOT Philip Rossillo, who was known on the streets as "Chubby," or "Fat Philly." Rossillo was direct with Anthony Colombo anyway. Had "zero" to do with Orena and company.

The correct answer is that Vic Orena, for many decades, always had a few top Jewish hoods with him. They were VERY close. Robert (Bobby) Ross is Jewish, a racket guy; shylock, bustouts, etc., but he's "around" and "with" Vic. The same can be said, maybe even more so, for another Jewish rackets guy who's direct "with" Little Vic was another Bobby. Or should I say Robbie. Robert (Red Robbie) Wisch was one of the most prolific Jew shylock's and schemers for that matter for years. He was VERY close with Orena.

So Bobby Ross and Red Robbie Wisch were two of Vic's top guys. Since the 1960s with Wisch at least. Ross for years as well.

DillyDolly, I hope this answers your question about Ross, and for that matter, gave you a bit of a window on the mob world about "Red Robbie" as well. Two active guys back in the day.

Many people don't know that Bobby Ross had a side gig as a television artist when he wasn't collecting vigs around the city.

I just happened to catch Bob Ross one day and watched him paint this stunning portrait.

The clock is still ticking on the "Bobby Ross" guy pictured in the photo you mentioned. Now I know you got me banned for a week because of whatever. You guys (except for one of you) didn't know who Frankie Botts was or his last name. Who was Bobby Ross? How long should I give you before I tell you who he was? A week? NY Mafia and company are experts so I'll give them 7 days. See what they come up with.

I stand by "exactly" what I wrote. But by ALL means Colonel Charlie, please "enlighten us" all on who you "think" Ross really is with your vast knowledge of the underworld. (over 20 years right?)

How bout you don't even "give" us 5 minutes. Just post up who Ross is. (or do YOU need all that time to try and figure it out?)

You're the Mob expert charging people for subscriptions. Give them what they paid for. Or wait 6 more days and I'll tell them all the shit You Don't Know For Free.

I know exactly who Bobby Ross was. At least more than a "Vic Orena Jew" which is the only info you claimed. Lol. 5 days and counting.

I'll make a deal with you. Tell everyone that is the extent of your knowledge on Bobby Ross and I'll post the extent of my knowledge on him. Let the posters decide on who is more knowledgeable. This all started because you got your feeling hurt because your didn't know who Frankie Botts was and didnt even know his last name. Instead of taking a dose of humility you double down on the narcissistic "I know it all" Pill. Take it easy kid. You been doing this 3 years at most? I got humiliated in the late 90s when I first got started, took my medicine, and learned to research harder. You fucking millennials Killin me bro. You're a glutton for punishment

As much as it is of no benefit to me whatsoever to weight in on this scrap, I have to say, that as an outside observer it's looking as if neither of you know who this Bobby Ross actually is.

I'm surprised there is so little record him considering the number of flips and informants out of that era. I would have thought either MF or Bill Cutolo Jr., useless twit as he is, or Larry Mazza or someone else might have volunteered some info on this guy by now. Or something provided to the feds by Greg Scarpa that has been declassified. I dunno, something, anything. But not so, it seems. It remains a mystery to me.

Unless one of you actually does know about this guy.

I do know who he is Eastside. And as a matter of fact I'm in the midst of doing a story on him. No sense in revealing his info now when I'm about to write what I know about him for a bio. But if you are patient you'll be able to read an entire ButtonGuys story on him soon ok? Typical of other style bio stories I do.

(I promise)

I'm sure its uncharted waters for most readers and mob aficionados. Ross was a secondary actor in a much larger production and easily lost to history (until now).
