I haven't posted in a while; but I was wondering; Are there any guys still alive who may be retired or active that was made a Captain by an original or semi-original boss; etc... Carlo Gambino; Albert Anastasia; Joe Bonanno; Corallo; Genovese; Profaci; Tom Lucchese; Rastelli.
Only one I can think of is Anthony Scotto; He was appointed a Captain by Carlo Gambino. He's retired; but he's still alive running a resteraunt. Any other old captains out there who was appointed by one of the old 1930's or 1985 commission bosses.
Would love more input!

I was reading about Anthony Scotto today and he's only in his mid 80s. Frank Locascio is 87 and was likely made a soldier by Carlo Gambino. Thomas Gambino probably remembers meeting the originals in the late 1930s as a kid. There is alot of guys in 80s/90s from the Gambino and Genovese family
There will be others but I can't think of any. Anthony Scotto is lucky. You got that guy becoming a captain and running a union under Carlo Gambino. You have Paul Castellano ranting and raving on wiretap that Scotto might become president or something along those lines. Guy did his time in the can and is legitimate as they come today. Never got whacked on the streets or died in prison like most of his contemporaries. Frank Locascio... I think he was made when Albert Anatasia was boss. ..

Gene Gotti was made by Carlo. @Blueracing; Was he? I never knew that. All I know he was made before his brother John. This topic refers to those who are captains/active/retired who was made a Captain by a original boss or one of the bosses from the 1980's; etc... Scotto is one. Any others still alive?

Frank Locascio is 87 and was likely made a soldier by Carlo Gambino.
On the Ravenite tapes, Locascio says he was made when he was 23, so it would've been by Anastasia. Does anyone know if Vinny Aloi is still alive? He was acting boss in the early 70s so would've most likely been made by Profaci and promoted to capo by Colombo.

Mario Gigante was made when Vito Genovese was still a caporegime. So he was made under Luciano or Costello. He's ancient. Refering to Mario Gigante. I just read he was a made guy in the crew of Vito Genovese when he was a captain. Willie Moretti was Underboss and got whacked not long after but still... I'm 26 and to hear that and he's still alive.. no words. Anyone know how Vito Genovese felt about Mario Gigante? He was close to Chin but not much info about how close he was to his brother Mario.
