Don't know if he or the book has been covered on BHF already elsewhere, but a Gambino soldier called Robert Vaccaro is a prominent part of the book. I can't find much info on him online - any of you learned gentlemen shed a bit of light on his story and / or what he's at these days?

Someone posted a picture of him in the mugshots section

How many posts does one need to access that section?

Robert Vaccaro was the prime example of a secretive gangster who did not trust anyone. “It took me a long time to develop a relationship with him, but I think eventually I developed a better relationship with Robert than with anyone else. He was originally a Lucchese guy and somehow they switched him over to the Gambinos and they made him. He had some previous experience with the Pizza Connection case. Did some time, I think 20 years in the state penitentiary. He came out. True gangster, very quiet.”

Unfortunately his mother (jr’s wife) took her own life years ago because of all the legal issues and the sons issues. Jr’s father is a long time gambling guy. Think he has his button. I don’t think jr does but that may have changed and the old man may have passed. Also hooks Capra son and rob jrs son grew up together. They’re close since young kids.
