I'm not sure if anyone has already posted this, but it is quite a moving tribute from Chase to his friend and "brother".

Taps, lights out, 2200 hours. What's missing? Give up? Television.

3Thanks for posting this, conkom. Intended to dedicate a thread to it at some point myself with at least a link if not the whole text. If I ever do a complete textual copy, I'll just add it to this thread.
Tony, his spirits crushed after b-lining to the fridge first thing in the morning: "Who ate the last piece of cake?"
Re: Chase's eulogy letter to James Gandolfini
4I related to Chase identifying with Gandolfini and their shared heritage. Though I am not religious I could vividly visualize Chase's description of an unfilmed end scene of an episode where Tony lost in Meadowlands getting on a bus like a normal person with the Joan Osborne song "What if God was one of us" playing in the background as the credits roll. He perfectly captured for us the essence of the character of the real man who was cast as one of television's great screen characters of the ages.
I agree I think the whole letter should be reproduced in a thread. I will leave it to you and your thoughts. Thank you fly.
