Sammy she's drowning!", "Then jump in and save her, what do you want me to do" lol, classic
Sammy has a photographic memory. Amazing memory for a 76 year old man!!

It's good when you talk about the lesser known guys. It gives us a real sense of the mix of people you ran with.
Great stories (as usual)! Sammy seems to really enjoy talking about Butchie. The sign of a great friendship.
Always enjoy how Sammy describes his stories and experiences in such a way it makes you feel that your right there experiencing it with him, and I always get the biggest kick when he starts laughing, Thank you Sammy for sharing your time with us, always looking forward to more episodes.
I could almost see it as you were describing it. All those cops and all those guys in the street wailing on each other. Hysterical. Thanks Sammy for the stories. You are giving us personal history lessons each time. We appreciate it!
Love it when he tells stories about his good friends he had/has love for u can hear the emotions in his voice and know they mean/ment a great dell to him. That what loyalty sounds like. 🇺🇲🤙

@@mattiassvanberg9161 he’s the shining example of a role model, I’d gladly show my kids Sammy. We all have a past. to me Sammy represents what it is to be a man. I believe him, he’s without a doubt a man of his word, he’s without a doubt driven, passionate, and strong as Bull😎 a man’s man. Dedicated to family, honestly one of the most dedicated dudes I’ve ever seen when it comes to family, wether it’s family or, the family. mentally he’s unbelievably tough, 22 years in prison with 6-7 of those in the hole, and he comes out practically unfazed, he wouldn’t let the system break him. He’s never used drugs. He’s friendly and talkative, clearly he’s confident, and above all, after living the life he led, he managed to turn it around. Then quits smoking after like 60 years….. He’s a prime example of what it is to be a good man, he stands by his word and actions like an unmovable statue. To me that’s honorable and admirable. Is even say he’s extremely loyal. for real✌️ a legitimate tough guy willing to kill or be killed for the people he loves. Sammy is the definition of a role model ✌️
i head these stories before Sammy but i love the way you told them youself. God Bless you Sammy.
Butchie reminds me of a friend I know. He would always do off the wall crazy stuff. I bet Butchie was awesome to hang out with in that life back in the day. Great story Sammy!
Love your stories Sammy. As a girl back in the 70s near Philly I was obsessed with the mob and I had such a crush on you. Glad to see that you are still here and doing well. Keep it up with your stories; can't get enough of them.

Thanks for this story Sammy. I grew up a block away from Doc's. I was a few years younger than Butchie, Monk, Donnie Black, Nickie Shboom, all those guys,, and of course Trippy was the bar tender. I haven't been back since I came back from Nam. if you can get those guys to sit and talk with you it would be great. Thanks for taking me back in time.
