103 years old! That is crazy. Think of all the stuff and people he has seen come and go. I wonder if Michael will have a looser tongue now?

Yeah honestly I'm suprised even though I shouldn't.

At least he beat Kirk Douglas, who was going to live forever too.

With him dies a lot of history and it would've been great had he spilled some of the beans on the old days. At 103 he really was the last of his era.

I have no sympathy or admiration for the mobsters, but to die at 103 with the life he had is a performance. RIP John "Sonny" Franzese (in addition he helped produce Texas Chainsaw Massacre so just for that I respect him lol)

Who is the oldest living American Cosa Nostra member now?

I’m curious what his funeral looks like. Gonna be a lotta wiseguys that want to pay their respects. Wonder if his family will try and keep it more low key, especially since they have two sons that aren’t well liked by a lot of those guys.
