I gathered some pictures of Leonard Nimoy to share.

I wonder if his death will be addressed on The Big Bang Theory? Considering the guys (particularly Sheldon) are huge fans. I think it would be nice if they did.
 
Just found this photo on the internet. This hit me square in the chest. To absent friends.

That one certainly causes a lump in the throat to form.

Nimoy will be sadly missed and all I can do is thank him for all the entertainment he has given me.
 
"Remember"...

Above is a remix of "Renewal", from a very talented artist named Alan Rhodes.


I watched the premier of ST on Sept 8 1966, sitting at my Father's side; I was 11 yrs old and Spock became one of my Heroes in that moment. Star Trek's moral center help shaped my thinking and broaden my views of the world and our place in it growing up.
-- I, like all of us here, fell in love with this show, through every incarnation.

Quote:
“To this day, I sense Vulcan speech patterns, Vulcan social attitudes and even Vulcan patterns of logic and emotional suppression in my behavior,” Mr. Nimoy wrote years after the original series ended. But that wasn’t such a bad thing, he discovered. “Given the choice,” he wrote, “if I had to be someone else, I would be Spock.” - Leonard Nimoy

"Accepting death - by understanding that every life comes to an end, when time demands it. Loss of life is to be mourned, but only if the life was wasted." -- Mr. Spock

Right in the feels
 
Star Trek has definitely lost one of its greatest. Indeed, this is a loss to the sci-fi community as a whole.

Farewell, Leonard Nimoy. You have been, and always shall be, our friend.
