The death of actor Paul Sorvino on Monday inspired many Twitter tributes, but none may be as touching as the one posted by his daughter, Mira Sorvino.
The Oscar-winning actor said on social media that her “heart is rent asunder- a life of love and joy and wisdom with him is over,” and added, “He was the most wonderful father.”

Sadly we are running out of good fellas. Paul Sorvino had a barrel chested power on the silver screen. Dominant, sincere & deadly. Also, he could make us smile. Immortalized by his contribution to cinema we will always enjoy the perfection of his https://t.co/wwZxKBwMGv pic.twitter.com/dOrJbqLnR6
