Another Vegas Light Goes Out But The Laughter Lives On

A few days ago, I called my friend John Sheffield, better known as Vegas legend Scof. He told me he’d had an operation due to cancer. I panicked and asked if he was in hospital. When he asked if I had any more fucking stupid questions, I thought he’d probably be fine. Sadly, I was wrong and he left us a few days later.
Scof had been battling cancer and a dodgy heart for a decade without cooperating too much with the medical profession. One doctor told him that if he quit smoking, he could have two beers per day. Scof asked if he could have fourteen on Mondays instead. You get the idea.
