Update

The Genovese Family Ceremonies (1970s) post has been updated to add James Vincent Delio (1924-1980).

Delio, identified by the FBI as a Capodecina by August 1980, was involved in the operation of Bamonte's Restaurant located on Withers St in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood.

He was shot to death in nearby Ridgewood in early October 1980.

His younger brother Thomas, a Genovese Associate, was murdered in 1974.

Their uncle, Genovese Capodecina Pasquale 'Patty Mack' Macchirole, was shot to death in 1978.
