He lived long and he prospered. That's not a life to be mourned.

That's a life to be celebrated.

Had he not been a chain smoker, he would have prospered longer.

RIP Uncle Leonard.

Sucks. I heard about him going into the hospital from George Takei's Facebook, but I was really hoping he'd pull through.

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.

I'm adopted. I don't know when the time bomb goes off.

Well, depending on your insurance situation, you could always do a little investigation.

Yes, Bill. We all know how important lunch is to you.
Also, that video makes Leonard look like a wonderful fellow.

This one hit me really hard. Some of my fondest childhood memories involve watching various iterations of Star Trek with my dad (it's how I learned my English, mainly), and it feels like I'm losing bits of my childhood every time one of the cast leaves... It makes me think about my dad and how he's not gonna be around forever...

Fuck. I don't know where I'm going with this. Sorry.

I'll never forget you, Mr. Nimoy.

Was at Lounge 42 last night in Milwaukee and we all gathered for a shot in his honor. Sad loss for humanity.

Just had a shot for him too. He will be missed.

Fuck, it's always astounding to me how much he looked like my recently deceased grandfather.

All these pictures of him floating around is like losing my poppa again, on top of the fact that Leonard Nimoy (Spock was why I loved Star Trek, even as a kid) is gone.

As weird as it is, I don't have any old pictures of my grandpa currently available to me, but as he aged, they looked more and more alike. Here's young Leonard Nimoy and young my grandpa.

Was flipping channels today and came across an episode of Rawhide, guess who was playing one of the Indians:

Sorry for posting this in the eleventh hour -- the cast of Star Trek Beyond is dedicating this week of their charity drive to Leonard Nimoy.
