He's a relic from the past. One of the last standup guys. Never ratted and if you didn't grow up around any of these guys you wouldn't understand. I'm from Chitown but still knew plenty of them. The life was the life. It's was a path out of poverty for these guys.

Think about it this guy was likely an errand boy for Profaci in the 20's and early 30's.

Like him or not he's a part of American history and a true mafia guy. His son only got into the the life cause he idolized his father.

I do wonder what he thinks about his son giving up the life. Although he never really ratted Michael certainly broke omertà.
