Funny story, when Mike Genovese found out it was Nicky who killed Fio, Big John LaRocca had to fly into town from Pompano Beach, FL to settle him down as Mike wanted retribution. After it was determined he was crazy, Mike never bothered with him again. If you've ever met or had a conversation with Mike's son, Michael A. Genovese, he has some great stories about his dad and is a really nice guy, works at the Post Gazette.
I had heard that Michael decided to give Nick a pass because of his (Nick's)mental state and LaRocca's involvement,but I think that if he wanted to,in the ensuing years when he was Boss,he could have exacted revenge without too much heat. The fact that he let it go,to me ,is a tribute to his sense of fairness. Don't get me wrong,Genovese was not a nice guy,but at least he did the right thing in this case. Speaking of Nicky,he has some pretty cool stories as well,they just involve planets other than ours.
