It was time for Tommy ­DeSimone to die.

The mobster — famously portrayed by Joe Pesci in "Goodfellas" — killed two made men, tried to rape the wife of his gangster pal Henry Hill and stupidly lifted his ski mask during 1978’s historic $6 million Lufthansa heist.

So John Gotti took care of it — personally.

The handsome capo used a silencer-equipped Colt .38 to shoot DeSimone three times in the skull in January 1979 in the basement of an Italian restaurant on Arthur Avenue in The Bronx, says an upcoming book, “The Lufthansa Heist,” written by Hill and journalist Daniel Simone.

It’s the first time the details of Gotti’s role in the death of the 28-year-old psychopath have been revealed.

Funny thing happened the other day at the firehall on my shift.
A lady came to the door and gave us a case of Goodfellas Spaghetti sauce.
It’s Henry Hills brand. She claims to have been friends with him and his kids, who now own the brand I guess. It was all bubble wrapped in a big box.

That has to be one of the most quoted lines in film history. Pesci was amazing in that movie.
