BENIDETTO CAFARO Obituary

BENIDETTO "BENNY" CAFARO Benidetto "Benny" Cafaro, 83, a longtime resident of Las Vegas, passed away May 18, 2017. He was born March 16, 1934, in Niagara Falls, N.Y., to Nicholas and Lucy Cafaro. He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Paula; and sister, Lena. He married Myrna in Las Vegas in 1985. He is survived by his wife, Myrna; sons, Benjy, Troy (Shawn) and Todd; daughter, Cammy; stepsons, Arthur Thompson and Doug (Eva) Thompson; eight grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and his beloved Labradoodle, Ashley. He worked at many casinos throughout the years but found home at The Tropicana, where he retired as a Baccarat Manager. He was a generous and loving person who helped many people throughout the course of his life. He adored the quality time and relaxation from the 14 cruises he went on with his beloved Myrna and their good friends. In his travels that included several different countries, he was most fond of Tahiti. The world is a slightly darker place without him. He will be missed dearly and always remembered. Celebration of life will be 2-5 p.m. Saturday, June 17, at The Italian-American Club, 2333 E. Sahara Ave., Las Vegas. It has been a long day without my friend. I will tell you all about it when I see you again.

My sincere condolences to the family. I have great memories of knowing and working with him at the Tropicana casino. He is one of the great, personable, likeable, charismatic casino bosses that Las Vegas lacks today. He was a good man. Doug & Janet Cotton Henderson, nv
