Frankie Boy

when you get old enough,and are like me,you want to solve mysteries. my oldman being the case, very violent never knew consequences for his actions. his father protected him,spent thousands of dollars in bailing him out of jail spent even more in most cases in providing high priced attorney's to aid his son in Federal crimes. my oldmans mother owned a saloon and died early in his life,this loss sent him into destruction.... drinking hard drugs fire arms murder domestic violence infidelity armed robbery would become Frankie Boy's menu. what makes this tale complicated is that in his mayhem he was in is own right a Renaissance man.he loved horses taught him self how to ride,he was a lefty in playing golf. he wanted to be a undertaker because he saw it's money making potential he wanted to be a Police officer but there was a hiring freeze he flew small airplanes as a crop duster. so when telling this story you need to take a breath. what do you make of a man who loved silence on top of the roof of an apartment building then in that same place take a 12 gage shotgun and from that roof top kill a man in the street. in time a car accident did him in,caused him paralysis from his neck down he would die in hospital with assistance of drugs that were injected into his IV by one of his visiting druggie friends. so before the angels came,he died in bed shhhhhh.
