Michael was fair and very polite, never wanted to bother the public. People knew who he was and he didn't need to advertise it. He was as old school as they came and at the end of the day, it was about $$$. Lou, do you know Chucky Porter? Michael Genovese (Mike's son) told me he ran in to him about 6 months ago at an Italian restaurant that his father used to frequent a lot with Big John and that Chucky looked completely out of it, possibly dementia.
I only ran into Chucky a few times when I was a younger man,and only because I was with people who knew him,and introduced me as a courtesy. Hi,nice to meet you,etc. Strictly social. In fact,it wasn't until after the first time I met him that my friend told me who he was. I had no idea.
