He was. And I think every biography written about him covers the subject matter in the very beginning. And I think given the way things transpired, you can get a sense of why he was old school, loyalty based and such.
I lived next door to a family of Armenian’s for about 4 or 5 years, they were right off the boat. They wasted no time getting into the housing market in 2008 or so when you didn’t have to show income and just about no down payment to buy a house. They bought like 5 houses and a few years later they lost all the houses, but managed to keep living in the one next door, not one of the 5 adults ever had a job. I swore they were gypsies, they were always on a scam or thinking about one, it was ridiculous.
They did have excellent skills in fixing things around our house though and love to cook on their wood fired grill and it was always delicious - Great lamb chops and love to drink. One day they just started to pack up and move out and wanted to rent an empty house we had that just became available. My wife asked me if I thought it was ok, I said not a chance it would be be a total disaster - They were always nice but the headache of renting to them, no thanks

Dude Gypsies are something else…
I didn’t know about them until I worked at Jiffy Lube. They were always asking for free oil and stuff. Then when I was a valet Parker at AZ Charlie’s they would make bullshit up for their car to be left up front. Awful people.

Heard Arevik Bakery in Chinatown is good. It’s an Armenian bakery.
