How did Sonny meet Joe Scully?
Sonny was getting in a lot of trouble living on the streets and was caught stealing Joe’s car. Sonny’s fate was changed forever that day. Joe took an immediate liking to this young kid and took him under his wing. He gave him the home that Sonny had always yearned for. He was the father figure that Sonny had always craved. According to Sonny, Joe saved him from prison or an early death. Sonny rose through the ranks quickly and found his niche in the mob world. “I was sixteen; one of my favorite pastimes was driving fast. But, the trouble was, I didn’t own my own wheels, so on occasion I’d have to borrow some. One Saturday night, I saw this cherry firebird, candy apple red, man, that thing would fly. What I didn’t know was it belonged to a wise guy named Joe Scully.” (see Sonny tells Brenda about Deke).
