Bob Delaney, who went undercover to infiltrate the mob, encountered his son and talked about him in his book. When he went out to dinner one time, Adonis paid for The Godfather theme to be played on repeat and boasted that he had seen Part I and Part II heaps of times. Delaney presumed this was also an intimidation tactic towards the owner of the restaurant.

Adonis bet Delaney that he would win in a game of softball and he did. Delaney had to shout him dinner at a nice restaurant.

Of Adonis, Delaney said he "had a fun loving personality and was easy to be around".
