In Blanch Barton's book 'The Secret Life of a Satanist' (Ch. 1 Pg. 6), she mentions his Uncle 'Bill LaVey' is that the same person as 'Ike Levy'?

"Tony [Anton] learned new lessons from the underworld “businessmen” in newly established Las Vegas when he accompanied and assisted his father’s brother, Bill LaVey’s business there after the war. The emerging gambling capital was just a tiny oasis in the middle of the desert. Bill had provided good raw alcohol to Al Capone’s distillers during Prohibition in Chicago and renewed old ties after the war, having enjoyed a prosperous wartime business manufacturing aircraft landing gear and patrol boats. Bill became involved with Bugsy Siegel in developing the Flamingo for Meyer Lansky. As Tony sat with his uncle in gambling joints and nightclubs, Siegel lieutenants like Al Greenberg and Moe Sedway had their own interests to advocate to an impressionable LaVey. "
