He was proposed in the 1970s, but Manzo knocked it down, calling him an "ice cream man" who didn't deserve it. They made him in 1982 anyway.

The Commission closed their books from the 1979-1984. Tough I think it had more to due with all the instability after the Galante murder followed by the Brasco fiasco than them dealing drugs which all the families were doing.

Calabro was Gioeli’s protege. I think 20th Ave is a different gang, Joe Waverly was a member I believe.

What was the last big mafia linked hit in recent times?

Depends on your definition of big and if you're only talking the US. But the last sanctioned hit would be Michael Meldish by the Luccheses.

Someone put a solid list together here.

which team was led by Greg Scarpa Sr.? In the media and in other sources, he is indicated as the captain, but on this site I only found a line where he was the current captain. Is it possible that Scarpa was in the team of Russo (the future Gioeli) from the mid-80s until the age of 93?
