I grew up on the block where he was shot. I was a kid but remember that day quite clearly. It was scary and intriging. Family members knew him well, he was a nice guy who got mixed up with the wrong people. It all ended saddly.

i heard he had no heart his trainers had to get him to run in the morning he would run to water fountian and wet his face to make it seem he did his run always took the easy way outwhen it came to later rounds he would gave up

He borrowed my sneakers one day to play softball in the PS 23 schoolyard. I remember wearing his alligator slip ons!

A real American tragedy. I remember Frankie De Paula from Jersey City and he was tough.
