In regards to men on the street when he was active in the 1980's?

What would have happened to him if he never got arrested? Would he have gone on to be one of the top 3 guys in the family? Possibly the overall boss?

Pitera was like the DeMeo of the Bonannos. If he would not be arrested he would remain a feared wiseguy but not even a boss.

Why would he have never been considered for boss? Tommy was a made guy while Demeo was not. Comparing apples to oranges.

I imagine Tommy probably would have been a Capo pretty much his entire career at the very least.

Patera was heavily into drugs. He had no knowledge of unions or anything other than drugs.

But now that I think about it, wasn't Pitera considered a Capo at the time of his arrest? He was pretty much the protege of Anthony Spero and followed orders from him on command.

Spero was a very sick individual as well who had no issues killing children if necessary.

Demeo was made made in 1978 so he was a Gambino soldier and for a while an acting capo,he was a big drug trafficker. All like Pitera.

I think its highly likely that Pitera would've eventually been murdered by an associate out of fear of Tommy killing them first. Either that or the Bonanno bosses would have had him hit for one reason or another
