Strange that the passing of a stranger would affect me like that. Through his character, Nimoy has been a part of my daily life for ages. For over 20 years, it's been one of my favorite things to sit in front of an old Star Trek TOS episode w/ a guitar and practice. As a matter of fact, I was doing just that last night before I went to bed...
 
I'm also a big fan of Fringe, in which he played Dr. William Bell. Great role.
 
Sad, sad news.
 
 

The needs of the many...
 
We needed you, Leonard. Thanks for being there for us. You will be missed.

That ain't cool. He was what made ST TOS interesting and cool instead of simply hokey and cheesy.
 
He also had one of those priceless and instantly recognizable voices like Vincent Price.
 
RIP Spockyman.

Very sad he is gone, RIP. Such an extraordinary actor who achieved greatness in all respects, his presence throughout those years will always be remembered here and across the universe.

RIP Leonard.

RIP Leo...

He was kind enough to stick around afterwards, and was SUPER polite in meeting with fans after the play and shaking everybody's hands and signing autographs and all of that.  And, just about every other person who met him did the whole Live Long and Prosper thing with the double-finger V thing.  It was pretty cool, and he was quite tolerant of that and also quite nice.
 

That seemed to be an integral part of his persona. He had a dignity and patience that crept into the parts he played.
Yes, we will miss him.
 

He was perfect for Spock. So many images/memories embedded in my mind. Thank you Mr. Spock for your character. Where you travel now is beyond our wildest dreams.

And that's how cool Mr. Nimoy was...:)
