Imagine going through life as “Little Nicky”... Makes you wonder where “Big Nicky” is.
87, huh? That’s a pretty damned good run for a mobster.

The mafia was far-reaching when I was growing up. I grew up in an area around Boston where there were several mob related killings. One of my earliest memories was walking near my house one morning and seeing the chalk outline of a body on the street. I remember wondering why somebody would draw an outline of a body on a city street in chalk but then my father explained that somebody had been murdered there and the police wanted to mark the spot.
When I was a little older, I unwittingly went to work for them. Kids in school started handing out "football cards" where you would check off your bets and hand them in with your betting money. One time I won $40 which was a lot of money in those days. I was told to go to a local barber shop to collect my winnings. The barber then asked me if I would like to make some extra money by distributing cards to my friends and collecting their bets for him. I did that for a few weeks until my father found out and beat the crap out of me.
