RIP Leonard 
That is so sad, but what a good innings he had. A wonderful actor and a gentleman who influenced whole generations.
Rest in peace Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock) and thank you.
Vale Spock 
"Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few".
Such a shame...I grew up on Star Trek - and Spock was defintely my favourite character!
I'm proud to be one of the few in my circle who can easily master the Vulcan Salute, as well.
Vale, Leonard Nimoy...
The last time Nimoy appeared in public costumed as Spock was in 1967 when he was grand marshal of the Pear Blossom parade in Medford, Oregon..........unfortunately, I had been inducted into the US Navy the week before.
