Dear Las Vegas Mikey,

I ran across your site while doing some research on my father (who I never met). My son and I have learned that he owned and operated a restaurant on Fremont Street called Louigi’s Charcoal Broiler and Italian Restaurant in the 1950s and 1960s. It was reported to be one of the hang outs for Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Nat King Cole. His name was Howard Werner and his wife’s name was Mary with a nickname of “Ginny.” He passed away in 1990 and she followed in 1991 I think.

Howard and my mom were married in 1940 and he “vanished” the day after the “wedding”. He got a Reno divorce and later married Mary. I wondered if you knew anything about him and would share it with me. I would really like to find a picture of him. Also please let me know of any other sources that may be able to help in our search.

Thanks,

Howard Werner
