Willie Stokes
Willie Morris "Flukey" Stokes (December 12, 1937 – November 19, 1986) was a reputed Chicago mobster from the South Side well known for his silk suits,〔 diamond rings, and flamboyant lifestyle〔 as a drug trafficking kingpin and pool hall owner.〔 Stokes immortalized himself in Chicago by throwing a $200,000 party on his 30th wedding anniversary in 1985 and for the decadent funeral he arranged for his murdered 28-year-old son, Willie "the Wimp" Stokes, Jr. in February 1984.〔〔 The elder Stokes had his son buried in a Cadillac-style coffin with $100 bills stuffed between his diamond ring laden fingers.〔 Two years later, Flukey would also be murdered, along with his chauffeur, sitting inside a 1986 Cadillac limousine〔 while talking on his wireless telephone.〔〔
==The Cadillac coffin==
Willie Stokes garnered international notoriety for the arrangements he made for his son Willie the Wimp's funeral.〔 The younger Stokes followed his father's example trafficking narcotics and rivaled his dad's appetite for gambling. Flukey said of his son, "(was ) a fine young man; he was very well liked and did a lot of gambling."〔 Willie the Wimp was buried in a custom-designed casket made to resemble a Cadillac Seville. At his viewing he was propped up in the coffin with his hands on the steering wheel. The casket had functioning headlights and taillights that blinked, whitewall tires, a windshield and a vanity license plate that read "Wimp", Stokes' nickname. He wore "a flaming red suit, a jaunty gray hat and diamond rings. Several $100 bills stuck out from between his fingers."〔〔
