Dom Grande is extremely polite, personable, and generous. I have hung out with him a few times socially through mutual friends, he is absolute aces to normal citizens. He was raised right, I have also met his Mother and she is a good woman, you can tell exactly where he gets it from.

I met Joe Todaro Jr. in Buffalo at his pizzeria. He is as nice as it gets and everything he says is funny. Great guy, at least for someone at the top of a criminal conspiracy that uses murder as an enforcement tool.
I can substantiate this…

Todaro asked to sign my son’s cast one day when we went in for a slice after my son got a pin in his arm at Oishei Children’s. Joe sat and talked to my Dad for 5 minutes and had us both barrel- laughing when I took him to La Nova when Father came to visit us in Buffalo.

Yeah like I said before, everything he says is funny.

Best way I can describe the man is that he's one of those Hollywood fantasy "good guy gangsters" like Sonny in A Bronx Tale, only he really exists.

Roy Cohn introduced me once to Carmine "Lilo" Galante when he got him out of priosn back in the mid - 1970's and he seemed like a nice fellow.

Joe Ligambi is also a very nice guy. Congenial, funny, likes to make jokes. Very nice to my wife as well.

Second that about Uncle Joe, a real class act and friendly. Always a smile and a wave whenever I saw him in Packer Park.
