TMZ reports that Henry Hill, the inspiration for Martin Scorsese’s gangster film “Goodfellas,” died yesterday at the age of 69. The Twitterverse couldn’t resist sending him off with an avalanche of “Goodfellas” puns, quotes, and jokes.
Too soon?
RIP Henry Hill. Deadfella.

RIP, Henry Hill. Murder, robbery, extortion, arson, drug-dealing and adultery aside, you were one of the good guys.

RIP Henry Hill. Funeral arrangements include a long fluid tracking shot from the morgue, into the wake, that ends at the cemetery. #CueLayla

Henry Hill, the real Goodfella played by Ray, has died. Can't wait to read the obituary tomorrow once I get the papers, get the papers.

Henry Hill is dead. To honor his memory, I'm gonna make somebody drive all the way to Rockaway to get my lucky hat.
