I have found my grandfathers headstone. Sam Scola. along with my uncle Dominic Scola and his Pal John Borsa. My grandfather was a gangster in the 1930s and was killed in a shoot out with Jackson County Sheriff Bash. The word gangster is a word the media uses. He was a family and business man. He wanted to part ways with Johnnie Lazia the Boss of KC at that time because Lazia was getting stupid. My gramps was set up by Tonao LaCoco and Gargotta and wacked by the sheriff Bash.
