‘Sopranos’ stars reunite in emotional farewell for Vincent Pastore

Years after “The Sopranos” came to an end, its stars reunited for a heartbreaking reason – to say goodbye to Vincent Pastore.

Pastore was laid to rest Thursday in New York, surrounded by family and friends. His “Sopranos” co-star Steven Van Zandt served as a pallbearer, helping carry the late actor to his final resting place. Pastore’s casket was draped with an American flag in honor of his time served in the Navy.

Pastore’s daughter remembered the man best known for the role of Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero as “a giving person.”

“He was a man who lived out his dreams… but he knew how lucky he was,” she said during the emotional funeral, Page Six reported.

“I had the privilege of representing Vinny for more than 30 years, long before ‘The Sopranos’ made him a household name,” he added. “To the world, he will always be remembered as the unforgettable ‘Big Pussy,’ but to those of us who knew him, he was so much more.”

In addition to Pastore’s role on “The Sopranos,” the actor also appeared in “Blue Bloods,” “Law & Order,” “General Hospital,” “Bull,” “Pair of Kings,” “Hawaii Five-0” and most recently lent his voice on an episode of “Yellowjackets.”

He also appeared in a number of movies, including “Goodfellas,” “A Bronx Tale,” “Carlito’s Way,” “Gotti,” “Once Upon a Time in Brooklyn,” “Mickey Blue Eyes” and others.

“He loved being an actor,” Attermann said. “He was passionate about his craft and was always encouraging, respectful, and generous with young actors, taking the time to offer guidance and support whenever he could.”
