I was just thinking about him the other day and didn't find out until I saw De Niro's comments.

Robert De Niro is paying tribute to his former costar Danny Aiello.

The Irishman actor, 76, starred with Aiello in four films throughout their careers: his breakthrough role in Bang the Drum Slowly (1973), The Godfather Part II (1974), Once Upon a Time in America (1984) and 1992’s Mistress.

Aiello died Thursday night at the age of 86.

De Niro honored Aiello in a statement obtained by PEOPLE, saying, “I am very saddened to hear of Danny’s passing. I have known him for almost 50 years. I am sad.”

He added, “See you in Heaven, Danny.”
