Butchie Miceli and Nicky Bianco were both originally from New England, but ended up members of two New York families, the Colombos and the Gambinos. Bianco maintained his close relationship with Raymond Patriarca for decades, eventually taking over in the 1970s when Raymond was sent to prison. Butchie Miceli moved to New Jersey in the early 1960s and became Joe Paterno's driver and enforcer. But he too maintained ties with New England, including with Lara's dad, Richie.
