Salvatore "Sal" Lombard was the son of mobster Albert "Al" Lombard. Sal was estranged from his father for several years, refusing to accept his gifts (including a new Corvette) and attend college in law (he chose English Literature instead) and unhappy about his mob dealings. Sal only wanted his dad to do one thing to win his love back--testify against Librizzi--and when he refused and took the Fifth, Sal stormed out of the courtroom angry, then his father went into exile for four years.
