Guillermo P. Is One Bad Mutha

February 21st, 2008 Posted in Random, Features

Guillermo P. does not care. He’s been around the block a few times and got in his fair share of scuffles. He was the 11th of 15 children born to a Lithuanian immigrant father and a Lithuanian-American mother. His father was from the Lithuanian town of Kraskinaka.

Guillermo’s father died when he was only 10, and he went to work in the coal mines like his older brothers until he was drafted for World War II. He earned $1 per ton of coal mined. His family was so poor that, at one time, he reportedly had to wear his sister’s dress to school because he had nothing else to wear. Don’t mess with Guillermo P.
