Is it true that he ordered a made man to whack his own son and only Tameleo's intervent convinced him to reconsider? Or is it just wikipedia?

Willie Marfeo should have immediately put a contract on Patriarca after he told him to sh@t in his hat, it was stupid to just walk around after that as if nothing happened. A preventive strike would have been smarter, and then LONG LIVE WILLIE MARFEO, THE NEW BOSS OF THE FAMILY!!! lol lol lol
Can't help it, he is one of my favorite underworld characters, together with Harry Riccobene and Carlo Caputo, I hate Patriarca for whacking him.

Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
