Pete is neither a moron or a buffoon. At one time we were very close. We spent a lot of time together and many a night at the "Home Bar"which he owned on the upper East Side. He was a gentleman and had more class than most people I've ever known. He was a giver..Did he do some "bad" things? Yes...but that was another side of the man that is typical of these goodfellas.There's basically two lives...one good and one bad.The good to those that knew him is what we have to go on...Was he a good earner? Yes he was...Did he deserve to get shot? NO..The boss was a paranoid dick head. Pete was not a rat... Shoot me 12 times and you're done..
Again, I just want to reiterate that Pete is a loyal stand up guy that did what he had to do. He was going to be the Godfather to my son....I miss him.
