PB, how come Stevie rose up so quick in the ranks? You said he wasn't a made guy when Tony Ducks went away(85/86), yet by the 90s he was one of the more respected members in the family. It seems like an awful short time.
Construction, the union over at Hunts Point, trucking, demolition, etc. Monster white collar earner with a blue collar toughness and attitude. Smart enough to leave the blue collar stuff to his skippers, tough enough to take it right back. And his relationship with the DiNapolis can not be understated, neither can the partnership between the Luccheses and the Westside.
If Casso and Vic had beaten the charges and hit the street twenty years ago, I know for an absolute fact that Vince had his back and was ready to jump into the mix with his Uptown, Village and Little Italy crews. Ballgame over.
