I don't think I would have ever walked away from the life because I think that bond between me and my dad had to be broken and I had to get a sense of reality.

And, you know, I didn't hate him for it when it finally came that he confronted me on it because he read it in my book.

I wasn't going to say anything, but then it was such an impact on my life.

I said, no, I have to be honest about this.

So I put it in my book.

That's where he reads.

And he denies it.

And I said, Dad, remember you taught me something in life?

And he said, what?

He said, no matter what, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny.

I said, I know you're denying this now, but it's OK.

I love you.

I'm not mad.

I get it.

I understand.

But that had such an impact on me that I think two years later, when I met my wife, that's what really kind of put the icing on the cake, as they say, for me to walk away.

Yeah, he gets out in 2017 at the age of 100.

He was the oldest inmate in the system at the time.

And my dad passed away at 103 during the pandemic.

He was the oldest living mob guy for sure at that time and probably the oldest guy in the world.
