James Gandolfini Funeral: Best TV and Movie Clips from 'The Sopranos' Actor [VIDEOS]
On Thursday morning, James Gandolfini's funeral service at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine on Manhattan's Upper West Side brought in hundreds of family and friends, along with his Sopranos costars Edie Falco, Lorraine Bracco, Dominic Chianese and Joe Pantoliano.
The 90-minute service was lead by the Very Rev. Dr. James A. Kowalski.
During the memorial, the late triple-Emmy winner was remembered by his wife Deborah Lin Gandolfini. She was the first family member to speak at the service.
"My husband was an honest kind and loving man. He cared more about others than himself. He took the time to ask others in the course of the day how they were doing...Jim, one of the things I loved the most was watching you be the father that you were to Michael and Lily...Thank you for the memories of the beautiful life we shared together...I love you Jim and I always will. Rest in Peace," she said.
Gandolfini died of a heart attack while vacationing with his 13-year-old son, Michael, in Rome on June 19. The actor is survived by his wife, Deborah Lin, and two children.
The actor was best known for his work on the HBO series The Sopranos, but the New Jersey-born star also enjoyed a fruitful film career.
