He is underneath a freeway in Metro Detroit. Find out what one was being built around that time, and there's your answer.

Also he was cremated beforehand, so he will never be found.

Grandma

I can't say, but that isn't right.

Sucks having criminals for parents...my dad never allowed me to be part of the family...except a few errands here and there, probably because I'm only a quarter dago

This isn't an artistic work of fiction, but if you want to look at it that way be my guest finocchio

Why was he touching your uncle's face kek?

He was smacking him, and I'm not totally sure why. He probably did something that harmed him or his family I would guess.

lol my question is did he ever take care of you financially? someone in that position has tons of money flowing through him, through his 'business' did he set some aside for you, or leave you out in the cold?

>Damn this is Sup Forums I'll never see this answer, I have to leave work now.

Thanks for the thread OP.

He ruined all our lives. He wasted every bit with trips to crazy places, helicopter rides, cars, and jets. One of the nightclubs he owned was self made, he left that one in the hands of an uncle who stole, and drove the place into the ground while he opened another with my Great uncle the one who was made, him and my uncle had a major falling out, after that he went straight, well, tried, and the damage to other business was done. There was no reviving it. My mother divorced him at this time. Despite the falling out and him leaving the night club he opened with him, my uncle put up a half million for the tanking bar. My mom sued my dad (she didn't know about this) and fucked that up. After that my uncle was done. This was also around the same time he was being prosecuted for booking, and he had his knee smashed. Coincidence? He even left my dad out of his will completely. My dad essentially penniless now, and has ruined several other businesses that he opened on made men's dimes. They are trying to still look out for him, but he is making it tough. Recently he went back to booking, and is really trying again. He knows how many people are going to want their money back. Also, many of my cousins and uncle's do look out for me. My one cousin wants to pay for mine and sisters schooing, and such. My dad was a generous man to them back in the day and it seems they want to help repay the favor.

He needs to write a book

He wants to. I keep telling him to, maybe one day he'll stop procrastinating and actually do it.

Nowhere near as good as OP, but this guy may have been an associate of your dad's...

> Dad ER doc, working in SE Mich

> dad fixes him, guy super grateful "you saved my life, doc"

Found out years later from my Mom that he was an enforcer for Detroit mafia.

It's very likely he knows him, or of him at least. I know very little of his actions with made men, besides the yearly Christmas and Easter parties where we would play morra all night. He kept the business behind closed doors. I know they (him and my uncle's) would go to Tiger Stadium, and the race track a bunch, to work, I think that's where they pooled and laundered money as well as print out their betting cards. Also he was more west than Eastside. The westside associates were more so half-breeds and such, while the Eastside of Detroit are more so made men. My uncle lived on the East side.
