RIP Leonard 
Possibly the most famous sci fi character of the 20th century.
What a legend. Spock-on Leonard Nimoy.
Me: Leonard Nimoy died today. Co-worker: From Star Wars?
*goes home*
Wife: How was your day? Me: Leonard Nimoy and a co-worker died today.
Uncle Duke 
Leonard 'Spock' Nimoy.
(Incidentally, no one in the original 'Star Trek' ever said, "Beam me up, Scotty").
