OK this is news to me - any info/rumors about when held, who was inducted, etc.? I thought 2015 was the last one...

I’m not sure I believe that multiple ceremonies were held since 2015. I’ve heard that a few times in the last few years, but never heard any rumors of who it was. No names mentioned at all. We would have heard by now.
Digging around a bit after posting that, I found various internet people saying the people made since 2015 were Joey Baldino and the Salvo brothers.

Fat Dom Grande is a very strange character to me. If I were a FBI agent or federal prosecutor, he would be my weak link and I would try to get him to roll of the rest of the family.

A get out of jail free card and a dozen Dunkin Doughnuts and I bet Fat Dom rats. Like his Dad.

Father Time finally caught up to long-retired Philadelphia mafia soldier Dominic Rugnetta. The 97-year old wiseguy died of natural causes on July 4. He was believed to be the oldest living member of American organized crime before cashing in his chips earlier this month.

Wouldn't Mario Gigante be the oldest, born a year before Rugnetta in 1923. I'm pretty sure he's still alive.

If Mario died, I think we would have heard about it. That's something Capeci probably wouldn't fail to mention. No obituaries that I can see. There is a Mario R. Gigante who died in 2017 but he was born in a different year.

I was about to say, did Grande humiliate this guy in front of some girls at a bar or something?

Dom is aces, very respectful and old school - there’s a reason why he’s beloved in South Philly by everyone.

I’ve actually had the pleasure to meet him and converse over a few drinks that he bought me and then absolutely refused to let me return the favor , real classy old school guy who carries himself well. He would never in a million years just humiliate a civilian in a bar for no reason, definitely not how he carries himself. Who knows what this guys beef over the internet keyboards is with Dom……

I was just kidding about that, lol. No idea what Mr. Grande is like in person, just thought that guy's post sounded weirdly personal.

Sounds like a nice guy from your description. I've read things online about Marty Angelina being the opposite of how you describe Grande, no idea if they're true though.

Marty is one of the biggest drunken assholes on planet Earth….

He’s Joeys biggest ass kisser though and Joey has an entire army of ass kissers, that’s why drunken Marty has his status. 9/10 people can’t stand him from what I know.

To leave their restaurants much. But who knows. I have never seen Joey is any pics within those circles either. Maybe he’s just smart?
