Leonard Nimoy has passed.....

[KitFisto]

While it is always sad to hear the news of anyone's passing, rarely do celebrity deaths have much of an impact on me. But this one is a real gut punch. Just as DeForest Kelley's passing many years ago was, as well.

Some people, even though we will never know them personally, just feel woven into the fabric of our lives, and when they go the loss is as surely felt as if you had lost a friend. And that's what Leonard Nimoy's passing is to me. It is a loss that I am truly, genuinely, and deeply saddened by.

I said something similar to my dad a bit ago. I grew up with Star Trek and Mr. Spock in re runs since I was born basically and my dad and I saw every Star Trek movie in the theater together. Leonard Nimoy, while an actor I never knew, feels like a friend since I've followed him for 42 years. I don't generally get saddened by celebrity deaths, but Star Trek is such a huge bond with my dad that this one stinks.

Yeah, I can relate to that perfectly. Same sort of thing here, as well. There's definitely a special attachment that develops to the things and people that bring us together and help us bond to those who are most important in our lives.

Well said. I feel exactly the same way. This is the first celebrity death that has made me cry.

Sad. Feels like an old friend died.

So Sad... A part of my youth is just gone forever. If there is an afterlife, may you live long and prosper there Mr Nimoy...

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

R.I.P. Mr. Leonard Nimoy

Zachary Quinto, who took over the Spock role in the reboot films, said ... "I will miss you everyday. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

Okay, that did it for me.

RIP Mr. Nimoy

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Rest In Peace Mr Nimoy. You remain a legend. I doubt anyone will ever be as beloved for a role again
