Frank Gioia Jr. delves into a haunting chapter of his past involving the murder of Gambino associate Frankie "The Blonde" Mariconda. Mariconda had made an unwelcome advance toward the girlfriend of Gioia's "cousin," sparking a deadly chain of events. Despite Mariconda's impending induction as a made man, his lifestyle and capable demeanor contrasted with the tragic end he faced. Initially, Gioia was hesitant about the plan to kill Mariconda, questioning the involvement of the girlfriend and seeking approval from his captain. Once sanctioned, he and his cousin executed the deed—a decision Gioia deeply regrets today. Reflecting on Mariconda's age and potential, Gioia feels remorse, especially now that he himself is a father to a son the same age as Mariconda was at his untimely death.
