In the 1991 Genoveses induction list found in Gotti jr house there are:

Vic Pasairo : Believed reference to Victor Pisauro (1913-1969), Newark-based Soldier under Ruggiero 'Richie the Boot' Boiardo. It is not uncommon for these lists to use inaccurate years of death.So 78 y old

Was he really made? I've read on some articles that he was an associate.

Same for Ray Argentina. The story is he was close friends with Pete the Killers son Joe and after Joe got shot up Ray killed the guy or guys who did it so Pete put him up for his button and he got it sometime in 1980.

I recall reading that he was made sometime after that arrest. I don't remember where.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

Vincent Corrao was made in or around 1950, so it was not in his 20s. JD found the info and posted it on here.

No. Pisauro was made in the 1950s. He died in 1969. So he wasn´t 78 years old when he was made.
