SAD NEWS!!!

Mechanic Jeff:
Scotty, its been weeks now since you told me about your dad, I've wanted to post, but I'm still at a loss of words. In the short time of being a slot tech in Laughlin, I made a few friends, but none as helpful as you and your Dad. The first time I met you guys was when you were moving from the old store to the present location, just down the street from where I live. He was tossing out a couple machines, I asked if I could have them to practice on and next thing I knew you were loading them in the truck for me.  Friends made. Thru out the next months I would stop in for advice, trade parts or just B.S. I loved his stories of being a slot tech back in the day at the Belle or Edgewater, they taught me a lot, like who I could trust in the cut throat world of Casinos (nobody), what to watch for, things you could get away with and things you couldn't. His knowledge of gaming machines astounded me. How could someone possibly keep all that info inside 1 brain, it, he, was amazing. We had a lot in common, love of mechanical objects, guns, Ham Radio, Trump, a downright cool guy. I remember last summer when the riots were going on all over the country, making plans to defend the store if needed and how we would go about it.  I miss talking to him. I know you've learned a great deal from him and was glad when you told me you were planning on keeping the store open and running it. It's what he would have wanted and I think you're going to be successful at it. I'll keep coming by, buggin ya, but I want you to know if there is ever anything you need that I can help you with, just let me know, I'm right down the street. RIP Joey

I'm sorry to admit it, but I don't frequent NLG as much as I used to, so I wasn't aware of Joey's passing.  My sincere condolences to his family and friends on his loss.  I met him once while on vacation in Las Vegas, probably ten or more years ago. (Have a pic somewhere of myself in front of the shop).  He let me look around, talked shop, and hooked me up with some NLG gear (I still have the blue lunch/beer bag cooler).  He always seemed like a cool dude and was a great asset to the slot community.  RIP Joey, hope you and Buzz are pulling the one arm bandits in the great beyond.

I have not been on here for some time. Just got back on and saw this. Sorry to hear. Will miss a great guy. Prayers for family.

TheDude:
My condolences to his family and friends. Like some of the others it's been a while since I have been on the NLG site. I had visited the shop a few times years ago when I lived in Vegas and would come down to Laughlin to throw our boat on the Colorado River. Though I did not meet him personally that I know though his efforts live on. He built a great resource for many. RIP

Bobby
