HOLY SHIT! And I'm just finding out about it now?!!! I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear about his passing. I ran into him 3 or 4 times in various places (mostly at the SL) when I was in town last April. He even got a group of us ex pats together for a junket to the Sartore Italian Restaurant and the Sportsmens Lodge which turned out to be a a bit of a "barn burner."
He also helped me out with a couple of dermatologists in his own cantankerous way. How sad. He will be missed. God bless you Alberto. I will try to post a picture of our junket to Sartore in the VIP section.
