Ray def was respected by them way back in 1973, he accompanied Di Maulo and Paolo Violi to New York for the election of Philip Rastelli as the acting boss of the Bonanno family.
1973 is a long long time ago haha If there's any environment where minds and hearts can change in the blink of an eye, it's the criminal environment
