Roy DeMeo was loved around his neighborhood. He would have insane firework shows on 4th of July, was quick to help/offer neighbors with yard work, etc. He even personally drove a neighborhood kid, who was hit by car, to the hospital. And according to his wife was "shaken" because the kid was his sons age. Even one of his neighborhood friends, helped Al get a job on Wall street out of friendship with Roy, when Al was all grown up.

Seemed like a real nice guy, outside of clipping a couple hundred people, and scamming countless others.
