Henry Hill was obsessed with being a gangster and also...being a cook to which he references his famous "Sunday Gravy" in this letter. Henry was a member of the notorious Lucchese crime family for almost 30 years, all his time spent in New York. Hills life was immortalized in the book Wiseguy, written by crime reporter Nicholas Pileggi, and also the 1990 Martin Scorsese movie Goodfellas, in which Hill was played by actor Ray Liotta. Henry eventually entered the witness protection program and testified against the mob - sending more than 50 mobsters to prison.
