On December 5, 1928, Joseph Porrello, leader of the Porrello crime family, invited high level American Mafiosi from across the country to a meeting at the Statler Hotel in Cleveland to declare him the official Mafia boss of Cleveland. Raymond became Joseph's underboss, a position he would hold within the crime family for just over a year.
