Correct, Riela and Salvo lived in NJ for decades, Joseph (Bayonne Joe) Zicarelli actually lived in Cliffside Park. Besides those you named above were these additional goodfellas;

Gabriel (Gabe) Infanti lived in Bloomfield
Nicolino (Nick) Alfano lived in Englewood Cliffs
Ralph Duce also lived in Englewood Cliffs
John Caltagirone lived in Belleville
Vincent (Fort Lee Jimmy) Capasso lived in you guessed it "Fort Lee" lol
I also think Johnny Campanella lived in Jersey for awhile as well

And remember, thats not counting the "associates" who were actually around these guys in their personal crews. So they did have a presence albeit not a huge one as some other crews.

Also, because NJ was so close to Downtown Manhattan, there were other Bonanno guys who came from the Mulberry Street area who jumped right over the bridge to Fort Lee, or from Staten Island to Jersey as well who I'll leave unnamed. They commuted the few miles back and forth daily to hang along Elizabeth Street that had heavy Bonanno influence and in the 4th ward area.
