Carmine sounds like he was an interesting sort of gent...I bet he really enjoyed having you as his helper, reading and writing his mail, and getting him his booze and cigs, making his coffee, and he was probably flirting with you as well...

Carmine was no spring chicken
he was born same year as Greta Garbo (1905)
we had french neighbor, Catherine
he used to call her Frenchie
all his words were like from the 1930s
I remember one Christmas
he said ''I'm busted, I drank all my money''
