I don't get why the blue collar faction got pissed off at Paul for not attending Neil's funeral, and wake? I'm sure the whole family realized that Paul was in deep trouble with LE, and didn't want the attention.
Kurins and O'Brien made that point. The blue collar guys sided with Neil as Gambino was dying, so they were inclined against Paul from that point onward. Looking for reasons to resent Paul, I guess.
The two authors offer up several reasons why Paul was disliked in the family, and not only by the blue collar guys. But the most important one was that he was miserly in sharing the wealth. You can never go wrong in analyzing Mob killings if you follow the money.
