I hope he's not lying, because he has great stories. Still think his story would make a good movie. Comes back from Vietnam, meets a girl in San Francisco, embraces the hippie scene, then it happened. He saw the Godfather. Made him homesick. He went back to New York and took his military combat skills with him. I can't hear the story enough times about him being on the roof and ordered to shoot anyone that runs out of the meeting. His Uncle Nino Gaggi seemed like a grade-A badass.
