This book is about Mr. Frank Miles, written through the eyes of his son, Gregory Miles. The book is titled Big Frank because that's what people in the community called him. They were aware of the contributions and services he had provided. Even as a US Air Force veteran, he was still called big Frank by his military friends and later by his United Auto Workers buddies. A stint at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law gave the author the confidence to write this biography. It is truly a story that deserves to be told.

Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
FINALLY, THE TRUE STORY of the Mafia’s execution of Jersey City legend Frankie DePaula can be told: -Was his world title bout with Bob Foster fixed by the Mob? -Did the Mob kill Pat Amato, his first manager, in order to pave the way for him to sign with their front man Gary Garafola? -How did he come to be involved in a notorious heist of $80,000 worth of electrolytic copper? -Was his dalliance with the step-daughter of a high-ranking mobster the reason for his shooting? -Or did the Mob kill him for giving up information on their involvement in the copper theft? Although Frankie appeared to some to be a true life exemplar of a character from Dead End; a wild and unreconstructed deviant headed for disaster, his life is set against the backdrop of the oftentimes dysfunctional environs of Jersey City, for long the seat of power of an administration dominated for decades by Mayoral potentate Frank Hague and maligned by the corruption of local politicians and the increasing influence of organized crime. PRAISE FOR JERSEY BOY “The author tells it like it was...Anyone who was around boxing in those days or has any knowledge of what the sport was like in the 1960s and early 1970s should read this book.
