Joe Bechstein is Art's father. He has tried to spare Art the life of a gangster by providing him with a excellent education. He wants the best for his son, and although he is a gangster, he is described as a kind-hearted man. Unfortunately, Joe is also disappointed in his son, something that makes Art cry whenever they meet. He would also like to establish a relationship with his son, but in the end, he is indirectly responsible for Cleveland's death. Art tells people his father works in finance.
