Sonny Franzese a true to life gangsters, gangster. My grandfather knew him personally and the old guard from Brooklyn. Joe Colombo, Gerrardo Langella, Carmine Galante, The underboss of the Gambino family Aniello Dellacroce, Carmine Persico, etc. he grew up with Gottis first underbosses dad they called him “Boosie”; his son was Frankie DeCicco. A different time for sure in this city. My grandfather has been gone since the 80’s. His father came from Sciacca, Sicily. A little town on the southern coast. The Mustache Pete’s ran NYC when he got here in the early 1900’s. He couldn’t stand them. They’d kill women, kids, ruthless is what he’d say in Sicilian shaking his hand up to God. Once the younger guys took over he said it was hard not to respect them because they had rules, and you didn’t get mixed up with them accidentally. They didn’t walk around asking people to take out loans and whatever else. He said himself the most dangerous family was the Gambinos because their murderers were like experts and if word got around they wanted someone by sundown that person would just disappear or they’d get gunned down in the middle of the streets.

This guy is more of a stand up guy than the joker in the White House-he was sent to federal prison at 93 years old and walked out at 100 years old and lived another 3

Sonny a stand up Guy.
