I’m also not arguing that Skinny Frank Salerno is necessarily not dead, but I’ve looked into this as well and have found no evidence that he has died. There is no obituary or any other notice that any Frank Salerno of his age and residence (Tuckahoe/Crestwood) has died in the last )several years. Only one that I found was a guy in 2020 who was 20+ years older than this Frank Salerno. It’s possible that an obituary was never done for him, but in my experience this would be pretty unusual. If he has indeed died, there should be some notice. He is a high profile enough figure also that I would think that Capeci would have been aware of his passing, but who knows.

That's exactly my thinking. I looked for all the same stuff you're talking about here, even using targeted boolean operator searches incorporating terms like "in memoriam" and "in loving memory" (and of course hit up Pennisi ). Can't find anything, and a dead capo escaping notice is nuts.

But hey it's not impossible I guess. I shall duly credit and congratulate the chap who posted this claim for his contribution if it's proven accurate.

What does the NEW article say, Ivan? You cared so much you went and asked Penissi.

[Cheech]

You guys are out of your minds if you seriously think I'm going to get involved in short bus internet drama shit.

I just thought it was nuts that a capo could die and go unnoticed completely by everyone except for one guy on this forum for a year so I looked into it a bit. I can't find anything, but that doesn't mean he isn't dead.

Something like this has happened before, everyone on here thought Peter Castellana was still alive until I looked into it and found that he had been dead for like a year. He wasn't a capo though. A capo croaking with almost no one noticing or updating the Lucchese chart for a year is pretty wild!

But you are already involved. You sub to GR. So you have the articles. You are in more than one of the threads asking if hes dead. Then you went and asked an ex luchese informant on youtube. These non descript capos and soldiers die all the time without anyone noticing. But you dont wanna get involved. Youre the resident scott guy.

What does the new article say? From what I can tell it says Langano is the new Consigliere.

So what does the new article say. You keep avoiding that

[Newyorkempire]

No problem

Maybe Scott could meet up with you at your Chicago party?

Fuck Id kill for pictures of that.

Wow. You really are sick Baby Huey. I thought this was one big act this whole time.

[Ivan]

Youre the resident scott guy.

Oh come on I don't know him that well.

What does the new article say? From what I can tell it says Langano is the new Consigliere.

Papagni, with the explainer "Earlier this week, GR inaccurately reported that Frank (Skinny Frankie) Salerno was in-line for the post due to confusion between the two men.", and that it's unknown who will replace Papagni as underboss.

Nothing about anyone dying sadly, which is what I'm interested in.

These non descript capos and soldiers die all the time without anyone noticing.

Soldiers I agree on, like I mentioned everyone thought Castellana was still alive until I dug up his in memoriam thingy. I tried to pull off the same feat for Salerno using those same mad google skillz so I could get a big ol' dopamine hit for finding proof of his death for everyone but came up empty-handed. I would think that a capo dying though would have been noticed by someone other than one guy on here, but maybe I'm way off base about that.

Kudos

His sources were confused lol. Got it.

How convenient.

Frank Salerno was a known resident of Crestwood, NY. If the Frank Salerno listed in this Mar. 12, 2023 newsletter for this Catholic Church parish in Crestwood is the same individual under discussion here, he might have died around Feb. 2023, give or take a month (but no later than the newsletter date).

Good find. The other people listed here died around February 2023, so it’s pretty clear it’s the recently deceased, as of March 2023. I don’t see any obituary or anything for *another* Frank Salerno dying around that time either.

Damn how'd you find that? Nice work!

One confounding factor is that Frank Salerno is a really common name. But this lines up with the "over a year ago" in the original claim. Still seems weird that a capo's death would go unnoticed by everyone though.

Great find!

Sorry Scott but your excuse of mixing up the Frank's is not passing my bullshit detector.

[Cheech]

I wonder why he took it down?

Hmmm

A guy that was dead was being groomed for the admin lol. Doesn’t look confused to me. Describes Frank pretty well. Too bad he was pushing up daisies.
You guys getting it now? Wheres all the apologist. He wrote a made up story then an anon on a message board called him on it. Took the article down. Wrote a new one and said he messed up Franks. Amazing. What a day for a the good guys. Every so often we get one. Soak it up fellas

My personal favorite is that he was notified of this in late 2024. They went to his grave and did a few novenas
He even doubles down and says. 2 sources gave the info. Lmaooooo

Hate to be that guy but I’ve been saying this for well over a decade.

Not a good look for Scott on this one, just like the Todaro in Chicago when they really met at trade show in Vegas picture. I have no problem with people calling him out when he has clearly made a mistake. I do have an issue with some of the acrimony that has been lobbed his direction and when he has been wrongly accused of mistakes or being sensational. Honestly, I don’t pay that close of attention to a lot of his stuff except when it comes to Buffalo cause that is my area of interest. However, I will politely let him know if I believe he has made a mistake or mixed something up regarding Buffalo. Let’s face it, it is easy to do. For example I made a mistake about Johnny Cats DOD a while back. That being said my personal opinion is that some people are at times quick to dismiss and/or try to get people to quit contributing to these forums. For example I didn’t particularly like the way Manning was treated when he was on here. I definitely didn’t agree with everything he wrote but was glad for his posts and contributions and can’t help but wonder if he quit contributing because of some of the acrimonious/disrespectful comments lobbed his direction. (I will gladly admit I don’t know why he quit contributing.) Ron Fino is someone else I’ve wondered about. I could be remembering incorrectly because I wasn’t on Real Deal that often and was late to the show on that forum, but it seems there was some disrespect aimed at Ron Fino about being sensational to hawk his book in some of the posts I read. I think people were, also, upset about him not “dispelling” or “disparaging” the people suggesting a larger number of Buffalo members. I don’t agree with everything Fino has said or written but I’ve learned a good bit in my interactions with him and I’d hate it if he had stopped contributing on these forums because of the discourse he experienced.
