I purchased one of his slot machines, still have it .25 Mills, he had great stories and put on a yearly lunch for the town free, asked Bud beer distributor to donate a few cases of beer, they said no. so he never sold Bud again had a sign in window NO BUD HERE. Also, he had oil paintings of famous actors hanging on the walls. One day Red Skelton came into the casino and told Sharkey, I'm buying my picture take it down. Sharkey told him to leave and don't come back. He told me if he was nice about it, I may have sold the picture.
