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.
