Janice Marie O'Neal Memorial

Janice Marie O’Neal - Born February 8, 1936 in Howell Michigan

Janice was a born collector. As a child she picked up and collected small rocks from the 40 acre farm she was raised on. As she grew up she put them all away year after year.  Years later she still had them on the farm when we first met. When we married and moved to Las Vegas she brought them with her. She still has them in milk crates on our front porch. Her Casino Collecting started one day when she sat down next to me watching me play a $1 Slot Machine and she started looking at the tokens coming out of the machine. She discovered quite a mix of DIFFERENT tokens coming out and immediately decided we were going to collect them. This avid desire blossomed into everything we have today. As her Husband, I consider Janice one of the most caring and considerate persons in the Hobby of Casino Collecting. I also believe she was one of the most knowledgeable persons in the fields of Chips, Tokens, Silver Strikes, Slot Cards, Playing Cards and Casino Matches. She was always willing to share this information without anything in return. Her impact on the hobby will be felt for years to come. I find it hard to put into words my feelings toward her. She was my life and inspiration and I miss her with all my heart and hope I can spend the rest of my life living up to her deeds. God Bless Her Soul! (Jerry O'Neal - May 2009)
