skydiver604 0 #13 June 20, 2013 I thought the best part of the last episode was the cat that kept staring at the picture of Christopher M and kept following Paulie around.

MikeJD 0 #14 June 20, 2013 Wow, just 51. I think Terminal Velocity and True Romance are all I've seen of his work - never watched a single episode of The Sopranos, despite the plaudits. It's actually nice to see the words 'complicated' and 'vulnerable' among the epitaphs - there's always a tendency to eulogise the newly dead, and it makes people seem kind of bland. At funerals I've been to, it's the references to people's little foibles that usually raise a smile of recognition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyMcSwervy 0 #15 June 20, 2013 I had a chance to attend an event and drink/dine/mingle with the him and the rest of the cast of The Sopranos a couple of years ago. I blew it off. Now I wish I didn't because I really admired his acting. Oh well. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, I observed he was chubby, but never thought he was 100 lbs. over weight. Best- Richard You don't need to be 100 lbs over. You don't need to be overweight at all. I've lost a couple friends, and known of more than just a few others, who died of sudden, massive heart attacks in their mid-forties to early fifties. Coronary Artery Disease has no signs, no symptoms, no indication whatsoever... Until you drop dead. It can be found if you look for it, blood cholesterol level tests are a good first indicator, followed by more detailed and specific tests if necessary. It can easily be treated if it is found, but it often isn't found until the autopsy. Sad. He was an awesome actor."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
