This would be the same Ralph Spero that had a bust up with Sammy Gravano which caused him to be transfered to the Gambino's.

Was Ralph Spero made?
Did Pappa simply decide to kill him off his own initiative?
Why did the Chin allow him to be killed? - was he pissed off with Pappa's violent ways?
Finally, was Pap the guy who actually started the windows racket or was he simply the appointed Genovese representative?

Cheers
Why was Gerry Pappa killed? Some believe he was killed because he was a loose cannon, acting on his own. He had a few sit downs and was told to change, lower profile, possibly he was doing or selling drugs. He was one of the guys involved in the Arista Windows racket but did not start it on his own
