I just liked Clemenza. He was a likable and believable character. He reminded me of a couple of uncles I had who were just like him. (Except the crimes, of course!) I think Clemenza and even Tessio were very down to earth and seemed like the kind of men who would have been a big part of a family like the Corleones. Not only were they "employees" of the family, but they were part of the family. I loved it especially when Clemenza was bringing Michael back home from being hit by Mccluskey and Clemenza remarked to Tessio about all the new faces. Tessio goes on to tell him about hitting Tataglia's at 4:00 this morning. Clemenza's remark was, "Jesus Christ! The placelooks like a fortress." To me, that was the human part of Clemenza. He was totally a part of Don Vito's life. I only wished they would have had him in GFII. What did he die from? When did he die? What a loss to the film industry!
