Born in Livingston, and reared in Newark, Andy Gerard’s loyalty, devotion and strict adherence to boss Richie the Boot’s orders helped Andy rise to the very pinnacle of the Jersey underworld.

Starting as a young, inexperienced Genovese associate, Gerardo would one day become the boss....here is his story.

I remember watching the documentary about that undercover operation. If I remember correctly, wasn't the ex cop beat up by several wiseguys in an alleyway which fuelled his hatred towards them? This happened long before the undercover stint I believe.

Seems like half of the top Genovese guys used to/ are jersey boys.

It was Joey Ricciardi and a two others. Michael T ordered it.
Pee Wee took over Andy’s crew. Pee Wee lived on a corner off belleville avenue. The house still has the high bushes that surround the back yard,
It was in Belleville.
As an aside, Michael P passed 2 weeks ago.

Yes, at one time they probably had close to a 1/3 of their official membership in NJ. Aside from the DeCavalcante's, IMO the Genovese had the closest thing to a resident sitting borgata based in NJ as well.

Many of their bosses, past and present were Jersey based, as well as top skippers. They always had 4-5 crews there as well. Big presence!

it says he was emi retired after he got out of jail. im surprised he was still young in the 90tys ealry 60tys. they have guys in the adminsitraion when there like 90. im sure he still had clout even in the early 2000's

but tino f. was free after like 94 so he might have just took over everything in jersey till he died

This is a good one! I can't get enough of the North Jersey mob, especially Richie the Boot's old crew.

Lol, yeah, they were a force for sure. Especially that crew.

That documentary was a good watch, but he's full of it...Nobody with young kids leaves a police, civil service job that covers their family's insurance...Plus this was no big bust...These guys all got slaps on the wrist

Can't blame Russel, he's just trying to make a buck like everybody else..
