THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Pete rosa was this big fat asshole yes he was made, and b yes that's the same bonventre my cousins wife s uncle tall guy and yes tough reputation had to be around my dad's age and yes tony was taking to his house after the shooting where doctor salerno met up with them where he tried to take the bullet out his back but couldn't

Any idea who Peter Rosa was? Said to be a queens bonanno guy who flipped around when they all did. But was he actually a made guy?

Joey damico was said to be 20.

Frank, do you think Gaspare Bonventre was the "old man Bonventre" who Massino said was on the scene during the three captains hit?

I know Tony Giordano was taken to Gaspare's home after getting shot during the hit so it would make sense.

Our buddy Jimmy said he found a Gaspare Bonventre in Italian LE docs who traveled between the US and Sicily and was known to be a dangerous guy. We wondered if that was the same guy as Tony Giordano's uncle Gaspare.

Thank you.

Yes I can identify many people in those pictures including my cousin tony, (Santo) his mom , and mimmo taratamella ( all passed away) Vito, Louie, (also deceased) and of course the three captains who i did not know theres many others who I wont mention who still with us

Literally the first induction ceremony listed there has Lino Jr being made at 24.

Paul Cantarella also 24 just a little further down the list.

Yup I missed that my bad

Bonanno was around 26 when he became boss…lol I know totally different times and a different world then. Id have to think he still had people he (Bonanno)really leaned on in helping him running the family at first…to speculate. He had all those experienced guys around him that had been in that life forever but they definitely must of saw potential in him at least of course not counting his being close to Maranzano and his family background as well.

On another note.. Ridgewood was Sonny Red Indelicato close to that Catalano/Bonventre faction that was in the Bushwick area? It seems he was but curious on the particulars of any. Thx.

His birthday is in November yep 24 ! If you're reading this Phil I got a memory like an elephant asshole

My cousin Phil navarra was made before he got married in July of 1995 which would of made him 24

That's interesting to know - 25 would probably be the record then.. would be interested to see what your take is on the below and see how accurate it is..
