Relationship With Uncle
Scarfo dictated to his nephew how to dress and what jewelery to wear. He forbade him and the other mob associates from wearing cologne on the grounds that it was effeminate.
Scarfo criticized Phil continually for even the most inoffensive behavior in front of everyone who worked for him like Nick Caramandi and Francis Ianarella. Scarfo used to carry mint candies in his Cadillac. If there weren't any, he'd make Philip, who was usually his driver, stop at the first candy store they came across and run in and buy some. He also complained to no end about the way Phil drove. "Easy on the brakes", he'd say, and demand that every time he entered the car that the gas tank would be full so they would not have to stop and fill up on gas on their way to an important meeting.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship with, relationship and/or uncle:
“We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic. On the other hand our anthropological and ethnographical material makes it extremely difficult to separate the two fields.”
—Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945)
“If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle;
I am no traitor’s uncle, and that word “grace”
In an ungracious mouth is but profane.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
