Family feud explodes over ownership of East Flatbush building
It’s father vs. son.
The dad is 95-year-old Navy veteran Mario Bisogno, Sr., who, as a teenager, served aboard a munitions carrier in the Pacific during World War II. Bisogno, a Gravesend resident, who spent his post-Navy years as a butcher, working out of a store on Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, vividly recalls sailing into Australia’s Lady Bay on a ship loaded with 12,000 tons of live ammunition, constantly worrying that enemy ships might blow up the vessel.
That didn’t come to pass, and Bisogno – who enlisted before he actually turned 18 – ended his Navy service in 1946 with a fistful of medals.
