The common myth is that these guys never get tired of the life, but that's bullshit. A lot of them get put out to pasture by the younger guys, and a lot of them pack it in on their own.


Thanks for the great insight. Your absolutely right about some of the old guys being put out to pasture by the younger guys, reminds me of George Barone from the Genovese thats why he flipped. Some younger guys pushed him aside and took over his rackets among other things.

If he gets out it'll be a month before his 100th birthday and i seriously doubt he'll return to crime at that age.
