The Joe Spinell Story2001

Frank Pesce:
I was in L.A. on the evening of January 13 when I received the call about Joe's death. I went over to Sylvester Stalone's house where he was having a party where he let me in and asked me what was wrong. I told him: "you're not going to belive this, but Joe Spinell died." Sly didn't say anything, but from the look on his face... I knew he just felt terrible. After he announced to all his guests in his living room about Joe Spinell's death, he then went to his liquor cabinet, got out and opened up some kind of white wine... I forgot what kind it was. He poured himself, me, and everyone there a glass. We all had a toast. We all said, "here's to Joe." The mood in the place was so sad.
