Leonard Nimoy, best known as Vulcan Mr. Spock in the Star Trek TV franchise died Friday at 83 from age related complications with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Boldly go.

<sigh> Time waits for no one.
 
I saw Leonard around the community at various restaurants over the years, as well as professional presentations back in the 80s and 90s (I recall a presentation he gave on Star Trek IV, which he directed). He always seemed to be happy...

I was never a big Star Trek fan, but I certainly knew who Dr. Spock was.

RIP.
 
Live Long and Prosper. Dr. Spock !!! I am doing a mind melt..... R.I.P.

And Gene Roddenberry, Star Trek's creator-- Died 1991
 
I am now 60, and I remember when the boys in sixth grade were talking about the new show Star Trek. None of the girls were interested in Star Trek. I had never heard of it. Before the bell rang, or in the lunch line, or on the playground, the boys had long conversations about it.

Rest in peace, Mr. Spock. I became a fan later in life, and our kids, especially our middle son, were raised on Star Trek. It was a great family show. Good clean entertainment.
 
DH still watches reruns constantly. Nimoy came to my college in the 70s. A photographer from the student newspaper was up front at the beginning of the show to get a picture. Nimoy stopped talking and looked directly at the boy, then said something very rude. I felt so bad for him. I'm sure he was embarrassed or humiliated by the call-out. So while I did enjoy Nimoy as an actor, I lost some respect for him that night.
 
Enjoyed him as Paris in 60's Mission Impossible

He was good as William Bell in Fringe as well.

I have been, and always shall be, your fan.....
 
His final tweet was particularly poignant:

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

He'll be missed ...
 
Loved Fringe! I was so disappointed when they cancelled it. He was great in that, you are right!

I didn't know there was a video of this. I owned a 45RPM record of Leonard Nimoy singing this song. For record collectors, it was also printed as a Promotional Copy, making it even more ridiculous and desirable, considering that LN never became known as a singer. I don't have it anymore, and have no idea of what happened to it.

BTW, it was truly awful to listen to. :)
