Frank S. Jaffe

Frank S. Jaffe, 69, of Las Vegas passed away Saturday, February 25, 2017. He was born March 11, 1947 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Bertram and Gertrude Jaffe. Having worked since 1974 in the casino industry he retired in 2014 from the Bellagio as a baccarat and roulette dealer. He previously worked at Harrah’s and spent most of his casino years at the Stardust. His love of music took him from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles in 1967 where he worked for the Lettermen, Capitol Records as a music promoter, and Chuck Barris Productions at which time he and Michael Stewart produced an album for Chuck Barris Productions. From there he formed Jerome Production Company. His time in the music industry provided the family with many stories and laughs and for him long lasting friendships. (most notably Alison and Adrian Cannon) Working in the Casino industry allowed him the time to enjoy his passion for photography of the Wild Horses of Nevada and fishing at Panquitch Lake. Frank was a caring son and brother and uncle. He was preceded in death by his parents and is survived by his sister Karen Rancilio (Frank Fugarino), nephew Stephen Tidwell (Tammie), great nieces and nephews, Stacia (Nate), Tim(Diana), Stephanie (Gabe), Secilee (Sergey), Christian, Sterling, Tyler and Sadie.
