The Boss
The boss is Curley’s father and is always well dressed. He is never named and appears only once but seems to be a fair-minded man. Candy happily reports that the boss once delivered a gallon of whiskey to the ranch-hands, on Christmas Day.
Quotes
( Curley Introduction after the boss left) ‘He wore a work glove on his left hand, and, like the boss, he wore high-heeled boots.’
