The Sopranos and Goodfellas legend Vincent Pastore has died at his home in the Bronx, New York, at the age of 80.

The Vietnam War veteran’s representatives confirmed the sad news to TMZPeople.com and E! News on Saturday.

The cause of his death is currently unknown.

“Vinny was one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known,” his manager Robert Altman told People.com.

“He treated everyone with warmth and respect, never turning down a fan who wanted a photograph or an autograph. He genuinely appreciated the people who supported him and always made them feel valued.”

His other credits include Black Roses, Carlito’s Way, Men of Respect, Gotti and Witness to the Mob.

Pastore is survived by his daughter Renee.
