This is hitting me really hard....

His final Tweet

 

[Emrys]

Noooooooooo!

 

[Bubble181]

Dammit

[Dave]

Whoa. I heard he was sick but had no idea he was this sick.

 

[LittleKagsin]

Oh man. This one hurts.

 

[Dei]

 

[Bowielee]

You have been and always will be my friend.

 

[Ravenpoe]

KHAAAAAAAAN!

Seriously though, his last tweet... damn. Going out like a boss. He will be missed.

 

[HCGLNS]

If great things never end you wouldn't know they were great. Thanks Mr. Nimoy.

I've been girding myself for this since seeing him in Into Darkness.

If they don't fire him out of the ISS in a tube, I'll be disappointed.

 

[PatrThom]

He wasn't on my list of ten.
I am debating whether to remedy that.
I don't think I will.

He shared his presence with those who sought it. His life was one of quiet dignity.

Man, that's a tough one. That whole cast is going to be hard to accept, when it happens.

 

[Ravenpoe]

 

[CrimsonSoul]

Damn.

 

[rac3r_x]

Yes of all the souls I've encountered in my travels his was the most human.

And yes i will be watching Wrath of Khan sometime this weekend.

It seems illogical to be so upset by the passing of one who was of such advanced age.

83 is practically "late teens" in Vulcan years.

...and my Dad is 3 years older.

 

[PatrThom]

...and my Dad is 3 years older.

Mine's about a decade younger, and it's surprising how much one reminds me of the other.

[Celt Z]

So very sad.

 

[Dave]

...and my Dad is 3 years older.

My dad is dead.

Yes, I'm joking about my dead dad.

 

[Emrys]

My dad is dead.

Yes, I'm joking about my dead dad.

You're not the Batman.

This was the second thing to make me tear up on Twitter this week (the first being the passing of Satori, Zen's cat). I need more sleep and less hard news.

Mine died in his fifties due to a heart attack. His father did too. That's the kind of thing that starts to weigh on you when you hit your mid 40s

I feel you on that one. My father also passed in his fifties (52) from a heart attack. His father before him in his early 40's. I'm 35 and it weighs on me.
