Life is really fragile and so short! It amazes me that some accomplish so much, and many time against such odds.
Sonny lived a great life and would have been great to still have Sonny in politics. He probably could have become a Senator and would have made a great one.
I remember how he got into politics. He had a really nice restaraunt but could not get a permit for a sign. (Yep, in AMERICA)
The city official in charge of such things told him he would NEVER get a permit;
SONNY: "I will get a permit."
OVERSTUFFED BUSYBODY: "And how will you do that?"
SONNY: "I'm going to get myself elected mayor, and then I'm going to FIRE you!"
He did.
