He was proposed by the Genovese but then died of a heart attack in 02 I believe.
For someone who’s spoken as high as he was by pennisi, he surely was proposed late. He was in this 40s in the 90s I’m guessing, maybe he was in prison before he was proposed?

If I remember correctly he was under Perrone, accusations were made against him by Perrone son I think, which caused a major problem between the two, later on finding out that Perrone son wasn’t being honest about it. There is a early episode on this entire subject..

Surprised Pennisi never gravitated to the Westside because of Santori.
Maybe Santori tried to keep him away.

Just shows how intermingled the families are. Pennisi was tight with Santori (WS), Bennedetto (L) and Blaise (G).

It's amazing how he didn't "choose" a family with greater clout (WS/G) when he hit trouble. Likely suggests the smaller families make you quicker.

He said he would've went with the Genovese if he was still alive but he died when he was in prison.

Also he talked about not approaching the Gambinos when he had his issue because they had been reaching out to him after he got out and he he stayed away so he didn't want to come back with his tail between his legs asking for help so he went to his childhood friend instead who just happened to be a Lucchese.

Im assuming Benedetto was Pennisi’s sponsor - but What about anthony guzzo ?

Big John Castellucci proposed Pennisi for sure. I think he proposed Guzzo also.

It’s all about timing and circumstance.

Pennisi said in one of his earlier button man episodes with Tom that if he woulda went with the Gambinos, he’d probably still be out on the street.

Yes. Jimmy Perrone. He was shelved and sent up state by Ciro.

He said Santori was going to take him once he got out of prison

I don't know anything about the guy and there's not a lot of info about him - but the photos that Pennisi has dropped of him, have him looking older than 40 even. With the Genovese and even all of the other families for the most part, that seems to fall in line with the typical age they make guys at
