Goodbye Mr. Spock
Goodbye Mr. Spock, the world is a lesser place without you.
Leonard Nimoy, Spock of ‘Star Trek,’ dead at 83
Published February 27, 2015
·FoxNews.com
Leonard Nimoy, best known for playing the role of Spock in the "Star Trek" movies and television series has died at age 83, his rep confirmed to FOX411.
Nimoy was taken to the hospital earlier this week and treated for lung disease. His son told the Associated Press he died in Los Angeles.
The actor wrote on Twitter last month that he suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, despite quitting smoking 30 years ago.
Although Leonard Nimoy followed his 1966-69 "Star Trek" run with a notable career as both an actor and director, in the public's mind he would always be Spock. His half-human, half-Vulcan character was the calm counterpoint to William Shatner's often-emotional Captain Kirk on one of television and film's most revered cult series.
Shatner released a statement to FOX411 via email after the news of his costar's death broke.
"I loved him like a brother," Shatner worte. "We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love."

:'( I'm not one to give two hoots about celebrities or their doings, but Leonard Nimoy was one of a kind. I especially enjoyed his description of how he came up with the "live long and prosper" saying and hand sign.

Growing up, back in the era of only three channels, I hated Star Trek, but watched it anyway because of Mr. Spock...thought he made that show.
Rest in eternal peace.

RIP Warrior, Vaya con Dios..
Couple interesting facts about Spock:
1)He served in the Army. Last rank E6, MOS 2442-Entertainment Specialist
http://army.togetherweserved.com/arm...rson&ID=350515
2)He was a Rock-n-Roll Start?? Eat your heart out James Tiberius Kirk, you to Gandalf.

That's Mr. Spock, I believe. 
Dr. Spock wrote the book about raising babies.
RIP, SSG Nimoy.

Ditto, but Leonard Nimoy's life was not handed to him, he worked hard to make it. Not like the twitter/facebook crowd we have today......

So many of my childhood memories that are good.
.....were based on Star Trek, and a nice bowl of pasta that me and my sis ate while watching those episodes. (when we could both see.)
RIP.

Indeed.
There are some great videos on YouTube with Mr. Nimoy talking about his life and career.
Here's a great one of where he grew up in Boston's "West End" and how hard his father worked for him and his family.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXGuzek51Ho
Here's another one where Mr. Nimoy explains how he came up with his infamous Vulcan salute ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyiWkWcR86I
Fascinating ....
