Biography[]

He is contracted by John Sacrimoni to kill Ralph Cifaretto, after a joke was made by Ralph about Ginny Sacrimoni regarding her weight. The hit was unsanctioned and going against the orders of Lupertazzi crime family boss Carmine Lupertazzi. Cifaretto at that time was overseeing construction of the esplanade and was making millions for both the DiMeo and Lupertazzi crime families.

The hit was organised by Joseph Peparelli, aide-de-camp to Sacrimoni. The Hit Man found Ralph Cifaretto at a hotel in Miami and the two men were in the same elevator together. At the last moment, the hit is called off by Sacrimoni, not wanting to ignite a war between the two families. Whilst in the elevator with Ralph, The Hit Man tells Peparelli over the phone that because the hit was called off with such short notice, he wants half of the agreed payment.
