No way could bobby cabert ever of been a boss, it just wouldnt of happened.
He was a capo but surely not boss material.
Remember in good fella's when pesci told the story about telling the cop "i thought i told you to go fuck your mother". Thats straight out of caberts mouth. He was like that. Its funny but you can't be a boss and do that kind of shit. He was a ballsy mother fucker though ,and everyone around here knew it.
The old Bloomfield avenue guys and some of the old silver lake guys were as tough as they come.
As an aside for some comic relief. Years back one of those guys passed away and in his obituary rather than mention he worked at xyz for years, or owned such and such business, and because the guy never a worked a day in his life, it just said " he will always be remembered as a sharp dresser".
