It was a glorious time. The wiseguys were all over the place. It was before Apalachin and before Crazy Joe decided to take on a boss and start a war.

I don't think it matters much that those being made before '57 experienced those times better than others who were around but made later. Is there a complete list of all current made members who were around back then?

Here you go.


Carmine Persico/83
Sonny Franzese/100
Sal Profaci/81
Vinny Aloi/93
Chris Furnari/93
Frank LoCascio 84
Joe Marino/92
Phil Modica/88
Stevie Grammauta/100 (looking at Chaps post above he may be dead)
Larry Dentico/93
Mario Gigante/93
Salvatore Marchese/90 - ?


The expression is often over used for the mob but these guy's really are the end of an era. The last guy's made by the old bosses like Profaci, Costello, Anastasia, Lucchese and Bonanno,

Still alive but he wasn't made until 1980.

He was made in the mid 70s.

Yeah he is one. Forgot about him.

Although unconfirmed, Capeci said that there are several reports that Stevie Coogan died several years ago.

He was never a Capo in the 70s. That was one of those things that was repeated on the forums. He was an Acting Capo during the 80s and briefly served as UnderBoss in the mid 1980s. According to Tommy Ricciardi they were both made in the same ceremony.
Cheers P-town.
Always appreciated mate.
