my grandfather. he would take me to work with him doing construction/repair. we would run red lights and drink lots of coffee.
he taught me not to take shit from anybody and that you’re only as capable as you let yourself be.
oh yeah, he also taught me that when you have nothing left to lose you grab the world by the balls and take what you want. he wanted to rob some banks when he got sick. we had to watch over him in shifts when he was terminal or he was going to sneak out and go on a bank robbing spree at 80. His reason, "what are they going to do? lock up an 80 year old dying man and pay for his medical bills?”
he was probably one of the most positively influential people in my life. he came from nothing and built a small empire with personal connections that spanned from common folks all the way to mob ties and politicians.
he was owed some favors that he never had to cash in, but it’s far better to have the mob owe you rather than the other way around.
