"That's a hard thing to do when you're so celebrated, but Jimmy genuinely had no ego. If you start from that point in life, you can only go up," he said.

Vincent Pastore chimed in: "He would have sent me to pick it up and he would be sitting at the Wonder Bar across the street hanging out. Jimmy didn't like the limelight. He was an actor. He believed in the camera and doing the work."

"Jimmy should be remembered for his work, for his love of his family and for his compulsion to let people know how great New Jersey is. It was beyond perfect that he played a mob boss from New Jersey," Pastore added.
