I was just a small thrift store owner... Even the thrift store, I didn't own it all by myself. My kid sister and wife, my girlfriend back then, were in it with me.

My girlfriend was managing the store in Italy while my sister took care of the one here in America.
The business was booming... Things were going smoothly, then..." There was a catch in his voice and he stopped to calm himself down since it seemed he was getting emotional.
