I just read that too.  He was really great in the JJ Abrams re-boot. RIP

He was a good man and a cultural icon. R.I.P.

I even got a kick out of "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins".

Leonard Nimoy's last tweet:

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.  LLAP

Cool guy. Met him 10 years ago, for an exhibition of his photographs. We had a long talk about his childhood and his art. Such a great guy.

In honor of Mr. Nimoy...one of the most beautiful songs I know:

Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward.

He lived long and prospered... rip...

The sad reality is that the people we "grew up" with are getting older every day, just like all of us...

Kelley/McCoy; Doohan/Scotty; now Nimoy/Spock... my childhood heroes are going home, one by one... :sad:

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

MeTV pulled the scheduled Perry Mason episode tonight and substituted the one where Leonard Nimoy played the murderer. Nice of them to do that.

I found the climax on YT. Whoever said Spock never got emotional?  ;)

Leonard Nimoy spoke at my college.  Then years later (in another state) I ended up seeing DeForest Kelley and Walter Koenig--all by coincidence.  In real life, Kelley seemed very much like his Dr. McCoy character. Koenig seemed more serious than his Chekhov character.  Leonard Nimoy was really an interesting speaker.  All these opportunities to see these people were thrown in my lap.  Now out of those three only one is left.

The greatest joy comes from the most unexpected places.  ;D
Godspeed, Leonard.
