Richard I spent many hours talking with Sharkey. My game room is full of items he sold me. Slot machines ect. I was there when Red Skelton came in and wanted to buy a oil painting, Red said I'll give you 1000.oo and not a penny more. Sharkey said no, later told me if he offered 500.00 in a nice way hew would have sold it to him. I also remember when he kicked out Budwieser when they would'nt donate some beer for one of his charity events. I will miss him dearly, a one of a kind. Huge heart if you were civil.
