Not sure but I looked at some old topics about Pete Casella. There's references that Catena saved him and let him retire to Florida.

Tbh; Casella should have never been Underboss... He was a old time drug dealer. I don't know what Testa was thinking. Think Testa was into heroin dealing himself and wanted someone close to him that knew drugs. Casella should have been whacked more so then anyone else; He was in a administration position and he wasn't even greatful for that.

Both Bruno and Testa were taking out due to drugs. Caponigro was a drug dealer too; He couldn't stand the Cherry Hill Gambino's operating in Philly and close by.
