    I heard him a lot on Howard Stern, interesting life he led!!
    Henry Hill -- the former mobster whose life story became the basis for the movie "Goodfellas" -- died today at the age of 69 ... TMZ has learned.

    TMZ spoke with Hill's girlfriend Lisa ... who told us Hill passed away in an L.A. hospital Tuesday after a long battle with an undisclosed illness.

    Lisa tells us, "He had been sick for a long time ... his heart gave out."

    We're told Hill had focused on mending relationships with estranged family members in recent years ... and Lisa tells us he had made tremendous progress before he died.

    Hill leaves behind two children.

    Hill was famously portrayed by Ray Liotta in the 1990 classic "Goodfellas."

    Heard that a few years ago a wonderful Doctor gave this guy 6 months to live. When he couldn't pay his bills, he gave him another 6 months.

    "As far back as I could remember I always wanted to be a gangster"

    - the greatest opening scene in any film in my opinion. Sets the tone perfectly for the rest of a classic film.

    I suspect we have only read/heard about a small section of his past crimes.

    Just remember that Hill was a rat. He sold out his friends to save his own arse.

    Good riddance.

    You know, they always called each other moderator. Like you said to, uh, somebody, :You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a moderator. He's one of us.: You understand? We were moderators. Wiseguys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. It didn't even matter that my mother was an admin. To become a moderator of a crew you've got to be one hundred per cent Internet so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country. See, it's the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a family and crew. It means that nobody can **** around with you. It also means you could **** around with anybody just as long as they aren't also a moderator. It's like a license to steal. It's a license to do anything. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being made, it was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a moderator.
