The man was definitely a street legend. He was cut from a different cloth entirely and was the last remaining link to the founding (god)fathers of the commission. He came up under Profaci, knew Luciano and everybody.
I doubt he met Luciano. There has been rumours he worked for Genovese so he probably met him at least once. I know he met Joe Profaci, Joe Colombo and capo Carmine Lombardozzi from the Gambino family. There is a picture of him meeting Rocky Graziano in the 1940s and he told a story on camera that Rocky didn't want to fight him because Sonny would of shot him if he beat him lol
Sonny's book would of been amazing. When & where is the funeral? Mike might attend. RIP Sonny a true legend and gentleman.
