On June 11 and 12 ….. former Lucchese associate Henry Hill was born and died.
Born 6/11/1943, Henry’s life became famous when he was portrayed by Ray Liotta in the movie “Goodfellas” in 1990. In June 1960, at age 17, Hill joined the United States Army, serving with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
Henry hung with Jimmy Burke, but neither could become a button guy due to their heritage not being completely Italian. Henry eventually went into witness protection in May of 1980. He and wife Karen eventually divorced. She was reported to have had an affair with Henry’s boss Paul Vario, and Henry had numerous affairs during their tumultuous marriage. Henry’s drug and alcohol use as well as his gambling habits are well documented.
Henry died just one day after his 69th birthday on June 12, 2012. His body was cremated the next day.
