I'm so saddened. One of the few people who had such a huge impact on me through their work that I felt I owed them a "thank you". Luckily I was able to say exactly that to him at the Seattle Comic con a few years back. His signed auto-biography is one of my prized possessions.
I'm just left empty by this news. Some people you just expect to live on forever, and I guess now he will in our memories. I loved Leonard's acting and humanity and Spock was a champion for a lot of us.
" Hi all, as you all know, my Grandpa passed away this morning at 8:40 from end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He was an extraordinary man, husband, grandfather, brother, actor, author-the list goes on- and friend. Thank you for the warm condolences. May you all LLAP. - Dani
P.s. I will be putting special shirts up on our site, SHOPLLAP.com , where all of the proceeds will go to the COPD Foundation. I hope to hear from you all. "
Heart broken. I was watching Day of the Dove last night and went to sleep reading These are the Voyages Season 3. I also feel glad he featured in the last two films even though I was critical of that choice.
Sigh... Like most, I'll miss him for purely selfish reasons, a touchstone to my childhood and a seemingly eternal re-occurring presence is gone. RIP Mr. Nimoy.
He lived a full and inspirational life. I suppose it's not a huge surprise given his age but it's still hard to accept. Not just an accomplished actor, writer, artist but by all accounts just a good man. RIP.
I'm heartbroken even though I knew he was getting up there. My husband and I were just talking about him last night.
But at least, he DID live long and and he prospered! An icon is gone.
RIP Leonard Nimoy; you will be missed.
