Sorry to hear this bigboy. Stay strong and wishing you well.

BigBoy,

Don't remember why, but for some reason you're on my ignore list.
I'll follow Pizza's lead when he challenged us all to be men and put down petty grievances.

If you kicked cancer's ass once, you can do it again. Keep your spirits up. Not your time to go yet.

I think your comment may have been taken the wrong way. People come and go on these forums and we don't know who they are in real life. There was a poster named Lilo who wrote a lot about "Game of Thrones" then stopped posting two years ago. I wonder about him. None of us hope for the worst on anyone.

Likewise, I wish you the best and hope you beat it a second time. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. I am supposed to get my final chemo next month followed by a PET scan to see if the chemo worked. I am sure it did work and hope to be reading Gangster net for a lot of years to come. My prayers are with Pizzaboy- I miss him too

I echo much of gets and Faithful's comments above.

I miss pizzaboy and wish him well. I am also missing Lilo and his GoT insights. Most of all, I miss them because they are good guys and great to communicate with - as are many of you here as well.

Good luck, bigboy. Come back soon, pizzaboy and Lilo.

This song reminds me of you. I was doing a victory dance to it after the Giants BEAT the Patriots. Let's Hear it for NY!!

Come on back Pizza! Everyone obviously misses you.

I knew Pizza pretty good. We had some mutual friends.....

He is a very successful property owner/landlord. I know that he and his family had many properties around the NY area.

Growing up in South Florida from the early 1970's right up until the early 90's my family owned quite a few rentals, nothing like the crazy high end stuff that PB had (I believe he owned a rental right in the Village in NYC. But at one time my Parents had 3 houses and abround 8-10 apts also.

NOTHING and I mean NOTHING stresses you out more than being a landlord. My parents could write a book on the crazy shit that renters will do.

Most just don't give a shit because "its not their place". Everyone has a sob story of why they are light (or late) this month on their rent. You think you are renting to just one single girl who is a nurse and she'll tell you that shes almost never home because she works doubles shifts at the hospital only to find out that after a week or two she is sneaking in her boyfriend and his 9 year old son in the apt. too. You think your renting to one person who is going to use just so much electric/water etc. only to find out you rented to three people.

Then you have the ones who fucking trash the place THEN they try and take you to small claims court to get their security deposit back.

So its no so hard to imagine PB having heart trouble at 57. My Father had triple bypass at 60.

You gotta hand it to pizzaboy, he called Hillary losing the election months ago. Hope all is well.

Any news?

Doesn't look like it.

Pizza and I did not always hit it off, but I would have loved to meet him and his father. His father was an Italian Harlem boy like me. Funny no mater how old we are we are always an Italian Harlem boy. All my friends I have left are old, but not in my eyes. Except when they walk with canes and start talking about the medicine they are taking.

Foots, tell me plase ive been meaning to ask you, your mother was italian and your father was from?

PB is in Florida enjoying some sunshine.

You may be right GV. But maybe he's not there of his own volition. As I posted above, I think it's mighty coincidental that PB he stopped posting just about the time Trump entered politics. Could it be that PB had some incriminating information about Trump? Doesn't Trump have properties in Florida?

Forse!

Hell he was an Hungarian Jew. But he was not your typical Jew. One of his friends was an Italian they called highway.

Highway made a ton of money because he own ocean front property in Atlantic City

He used to go to Florida with daddio. He told my father he was the only Jew he liked. Highway had a lot of mob hits under his belt over twenty.

Everyone has incriminating on trump but nothing on Hillary

Here his VP took in a show on Broadway but they knew he would be there. It was a set up by The NY Times.

First trump never said anything bad about gays. When the Islamic terrorist killed all the gays. He gave his condolences to them. You know what Hillary said? She used it to take away people right to carry firearms.

Plus the terrorist killers father was in the front row at a Hillary rallie. You did not hear much about that did you.

I know a lot of hungarians, and hung jews. Where in HUNgary was he from?

I have no idea. He never talked about his family. He had a lot of brothers and he had a sister. Never saw them except the brother who got killed with him. He was from Pittsburgh. When I saw his brother we always had bananas in the house. He would point one at me I will shoot you with a banana funny right?

His father's first name was Adolf and get this his mothers name was Eva. Those two first names sound familiar.

The guy had a heart attack. He doesn't need the agita.

Yes Eva is common hungarian name. I have a friend named Eva its real common, but Adolf is not.. Especially jewish.

There was a big italin gang in East Harlem called the Red wings. Were they active in your generation?

They moved to Detroit.

They moved to Detroit ... where they would beat the puck out of you.

Yes, I knew them they wanted me to join them because they knew I was a good thief. But I never was a follower I like to lead.

I work for him when I got older I was his body guard when he went to bigger and better things.

I think he isn't beating anyone up any more.

Who of the know mobsters was in the Red wings? Do you remmember?

Duke (The Earl) KEATS

Johnny (Lambchops) SHEPPARD
Carson (Pidgeons) COOPER
George (the Farmer) HAY
John Ross (the Bug) ROACH
Don (Fats) GROSSO

There were others.

Never heard of those guys Olivant, who were they?

There was also:

Al "Ham" Berger
Bobby "Sauce" Sage
Johnny "Hit The" Brix
Dominick "Baseball" Batt
Petey "Rooster" Russo
Sal "Smurf" Murphy
Tommy "Marvin" Gaye

Me too. I know a few hung Italians too
