    I think the Johnny "Keys" Simone story is the greatest story ever told, told in the best way a man could ever tell it. I had goosebumps for the whole thing. It's like I was in the back of that van with Sammy. The man is just a brilliant storyteller.

    The Johnny Keys story was probably the most riveting story I've ever heard! The little ambience music in the background DID help, so kudos to whoever is producing these things.

    My father knew Johnny Keys very well. My father was Angelo Bruno's godson, and both my father and grandfather were soldiers in the Bruno family. My father was VERY old school mafioso, very tight lipped, hated the flashy mafia members like JG. I remember him saying "today they all want to be celebrities". That was back in 1996. He died in 2019 at the age of 86. Hated talking on phones. Used to drive me crazy when I was in the car with him, "Always watch your mirror". He had me making lefts and rights whenever he thought we were being tailed. Always paid for everything. Everything was on him when he went out with his family. Didn't have any friends, just his family. Didn't trust anyone outside his circle. He was the last of the Mohicans and I miss him every day.

    I worked for Simone's relative who was in the life and retired to Hawaii and opened a Pizzaria there (Oahu) great guy. Absolutely nutz. Married a woman named Mary who was 20 years younger than him. He hated Hawaii and moved to Florida to be closer to family and died of a heart attack soon after.
