Rocky Infelice was a war hero. Covert ops if I'm not mistaken. I know he spent time behind enemy lines.

Solly D was the one who told Smith he'd be trunk music. Solly D was never their muscle though. He was more of a charismatic earner/gatherer of men. Guys on the street really didn't take him seriously when Infelice started to put him in charge of rackets because he was a little guy with a college education. I remember when he was trying to move in on a porn shop/something or other owner who belonged to Vic Spilotro at that time. Spilotro thought it was a joke. Rocky I then intervened & Spilotro got the message & backed off.
