10 Best Ways To Honor James Gandolfini Today

We can't be the only ones who've been listening to "Woke Up This Morning" and "Don't Stop Believing" on a loop all day, in honor of the late, great James Gandolfini. We all want to remember the actor who brought pathos to the mafioso stereotype and made the world want to be from the Garden State back when the Jersey Shore crowd was still in middle school. That's why we've gathered a few of the best videos, GIFs and photos floating around the Internet today...

1. Hug away your fears. We had to start out with Gandolfini at his warm and fuzzy best, in this clip of his appearance on Sesame Street. While telling Zoe about his fear of the dark, getting his hair cut and "giant, talking vegetables," he also displays his acting chops. Just look at him snuggle with that teddy bear!

4. Read Carmela's words and weep: "He was a man of tremendous depth and sensitivity, with a kindness and generosity beyond words," Edie Falco said in a statement about her co-star. "I consider myself very lucky to have spent 10 years as his close colleague. My heart goes out to his family. As those of us in his pretend one hold on to the memories of our intense and beautiful time together. The love between Tony and Carmela was one of the greatest I’ve ever known."

7. Take it in with a montage. This one has the kind of soundtrack that is destined to make you tear up.

8. Laugh at his good nature. Kathy Griffin's shtick is normally to rip apart celebs who are too full of themselves. She does the opposite in this clip, recounting her meeting with the gracious star at the Emmys.

10. And speaking of, you should definitely rewatch that scene. Unless you have time to watch the whole series on HBO Go, that is. Don't stop believing, everyone!
