DOB + DOD for Victor Pipitone aka Victor Pepitone
b. 07/12/1898 (Marsala, Trapani)
d. 01/30/1958

Obscure LCN member (probably with Los Angeles) referenced by Frank Bompensiero as living in San Diego. The FBI document spells his name as Pepitone and he is listed as such on Bill Feather's website. This is an error as that Victor Pepitone was born in 1899 and died in 1974.

Bompensiero further identified him as the brother-in-law of local associate "Big" Frank Matranga - Pipitone married Katherine Matranga in June 1922. Big Frank was a cousin of Detroit member Joseph Ernesto (aka Joe Rocco) and associate Frank Isador Matranga, the sons-in-law of John Priziola.

Their son Charles Victor Pipitone (1923-2021) was a bar owner in San Diego and affiliated with the Los Angeles crew at times. Apparently suspected of membership in early 1967, Bompensiero eventually identified him as a non-member after a meeting in March that year.
