This photo taken in 2010 at The Italian American Club in Las Vegas. Me on the left pictured with my long time friend Michael DiBari Sr. He was the last Rep for the Gambino Family, He also was involved in the very last Casino Skim Operation at the Legendary Continental Hotel here in Vegas in the very early 1990's. "Uncle Mike" as I called him for I knew him over half of my life, served under Carlo and also John Gotti. Mike was indicted and charged for racketeering along with his crew and sentenced to 5 years in Boron Federal Prison, in California. Later, Mike was placed in the Nevada Black Book of Excluded Persons, which banned him for life from ever entering a casino again. Mike worked as a Slot Manager at The Continental Hotel. One of the last places the Mob controlled before finally leaving the casino. Mike was a great guy! He was also an entertainer too. We shared many mutual friends and a lot of good times together. We never denied each other of a favor. Mike was true blue old school. He passed away in 2020 from Dementia. His son, Michael Jr. is like a brother to me. He took care of his father up until he passed away. Mike Sr. was funny, always good with a story or joke. One night we are at the Italian American Club hanging out during this same night, Chazz Palmiteri gave a symposium and was promoting his BIVI Vodka. Mike Sr. took a bottle off the banquet room bar cart and some cups, poured the 4 of us with him a drink and we all toasted. The first words of Uncle Mike's mouth were, "this tastes like gasoline"! LOL!!! We all laughed. Just one of the many people/characters I knew in my life. May God keep him resting easy and blessed and you will never be forgotten Uncle Mike. You were the best! Stevie D. 👍
