Then residing at 113 Willard Ave in Bloomfield.
The extent of Barrasso's involvement, if any, in the early 1960s Gallo war is unknown.

Identified by Genovese Soldier turned CW Joseph Valachi as a made member in Genovese Captain Ruggiero 'Richie the Boot' Boiardo's Newark crew.

On October 9, 1963 The Record reported on portions of Valachi's Senate testimony and described Barrasso as 'allegedly involved in extortion'.
On October 10, 1963 The Jersey Journal carried a story from United Press International re Valachi testimony, noting he identified Barrasso as having attended November 14, 1957 Apalachin meeting.

On December 9, 1964 arrested by Bloomfield, NJ PD. (See top)
On December 1, 1965 a meeting between Boss Joseph Colombo and the Misuraca crew held inside New York residence of unspecified Colombo Associate. Colombo accompanied to meeting by Underboss Salvatore Mineo, Consigliere Benedetto D'Alessandro, Captains John 'Sonny' Franzese and Carmine 'Junior' Persico as well as Colombo Soldiers Nicholas Bianco, Rocco 'Rocky' Miraglia and FBI CI Gregory Scarpa. Scarpa subsequently reported that the meeting was held for Colombo to extend holiday greetings to the crew and to hear any problems the members were having in the Family. Scarpa noted: "Meeting was held in New York because Salvatore Mineo, the Underboss, suffers from claustrophobia and will not drive through the tunnels from New York to New Jersey, if it can be avoided at all." Misuraca crew members named as attending meeting included John D'Amico, Andrew Lombardino, Salvatore Lombardino (not clear if the father, son or both) and Paul LNU who was described as approximately thirty-five years old. Scarpa noted: "[In] addition there were 3 older men present, whose names he did not know. Informant stated that all of the members of Misuraca's regime reside in New Jersey." (There is no known Colombo member fitting Paul LNU's description. It's possible Scarpa confused the names and 'Paul' instead referred to sixty-one-year-old Paul Lombardino, who accompanied Misuraca to a wedding reception earlier in the year, rather than a younger individual. Barrasso wasn't specifically identified by Scarpa as having attended the meeting and his name doesn't appear in any of the latter's available CI reports.)
