Leonard Nimoy Dies Aged 83 – You Lived Long & Prospered Spock
February 27, 2015 by brennon
A bit of a sad note for a Friday evening but legendary actor Leonard Nimoy from Star Trek, the man who played the awesome Spock, has died aged 83...
...Nimoy had been having problems as a result of his smoking and he died this morning. Still, 83 is pretty good and he was great in his return to Star Trek as an older version of himself.
I think we should all break out an episode of Star Trek to watch this weekend.
Live Long & Prosper Spock

Very sad news ,he was truly of the greatest Sc-fi actors of our time….you will be missed Leonard now its time to explore the final frontier…….
Thank you for all the fantastical journeys you took us on Mr Nimoy.
This is very sad news for me as I met him a few times, and found him to be a very interesting, extremely witty and a really decent person. He will be missed but not forgotten. I hope he’s gone on the ultimate adventure….. This time, for real, into the unknown.
This post is the stone that I place
Leonard Nemoy was always gracious with his fans, whether the eternal portrayal of spock haunted him professionally or if he was simply tired of the attention, he was never mean, never short-tempered, always kind and gracious; in that, I think the man’s soul could be judged as eternally prosperous.
Whether it was Mission Impossible or Star Trek there was always something compelling about Leonard Nimoy. He will be missed yet celebrated.
I’m by no means an emotional person (ask my missus), but I am deeply saddened by this news. Thank you so much for the 40+ years of entertainment you have given me Mr Nimoy.
Sad news.
Sad news but Star trek pales next to his other well known work. Rest in peace and thought to any family

YES!!!!! This just goes to prove just how COOL Nimoy was. I mean to sing THAT song and still be as legendary as he was, you would have to be a god of some kind. I’ve go it…Nimoy god of the eyebrow raise.
He will live on in our memories and in his work.
Now he belongs to the stars above, where he took us all so many times. 🙁
Here’s hoping DeForest Kelley and James Doohan were among those waiting for him with warm smiles and open arms.
I just hope he gets to join Doohan in space!
He touched my live. He made me a trekkie
Farewell sir
He lived long and he prospered. You can’t ask for much more than that.
So very sad at the loss of a wonderful human being, who presence has been constant throughout my life where ST TOS was always on BBC at 6. We enjoyed sharing the voyages through TV and Film, I enjoyed you books and marvelled at the many ways you have found to express yourself. LLAP Leonard we miss you even if Mr Spock would remind us that Grief is illogical [insert quizzically raised eyebrow.]
Rest in peace sir, thoughts with your family and friends at this sad time. I hope they take some solace in the astonishing legacy you leave behind and remember all the people whose lives you have touched.
farewell sir
RIP Galvatron!
Nooooooooooooooo
It can’t be true.
🙁
Rest in peace!
The end of an era. You lived long and you prospered, and now you will be missed but not forgotten.
We love you Mr. NImoy!! Until we meet again!
Very sad news, we are going to miss him dearly. S.Y.O.T.O.S. Mr. Spock…
RIP
Part of my life since … forever sadly missed one less from the good ship Enterprise.

Sad news
From the days I came home from school and watched reruns of the original series till his appearances in the reboot movies he has given me an everlasting love of science fiction and real science (May the first human lander on Mars be named Nimoy 1)
I think he said it best in his final Twitter posting:
“A life is like a garden, Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.”
It was great to have him in the Star Trek reboot.
a another great lost to the reaper a sad day for every one.
Nimoy himself reflected upon on Twitter this past Sunday, in his very last post. “A life is like a garden,” he wrote. “Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.”
Well at 83 he was better at words than I will ever be!
He will be sorely missed. Thank you for all the great memories.
A piece of my youth is gone
You will be missed my your memory live long and prosper.
Very sad news today.
He entertained the world and took us all on the greatest adventure to the stars and beyond. He will be sorely missed. May his spirit continue his mission.
Live Long and Prosper.
So sad, breaking out the movie set this weekend. RIP
He lived to 83, he was by all accounts a great guy, he kept his wits about him to the very end, he was beloved by millions, respected by his colleagues, he overcame challenges that can really ruin your life, and not to mention he must have been very wealthy.
I think my point is that the guy did well and should serve as an inspiration 🙂
RIP
RIP and thank you for everything you have done for fellow mankind. Rest well with friends and family you will be missed but not forgotten…
NH
This is really sad news, he was a legend.
RIP
I’ve just watched IV The Voyage Home, directed by Nimoy. I enjoyed it and shed a tear. That’s all.
Very Sad News. R.I.P.
I watched Transformers the movie in memory of Mr. Nimoy. He voiced the villain Galvatron.
I’d like to echo the comments above, very sad news.
I can remember watching Star Trek for the first time as a 6 year old – black & white TV back then in NZ. Spock was iconic and Mr Nimoy will forever be associated with that role. While 83 is a good innings I’m sure we would all have wished him a few more years…
LLAP
RIP Leonard Nimoy.
Live long and prosper.
Can’t really say I care that much. He was an ok actor. Good voice though. But it’s always sad for a family when it looses one of its members.
I don’t think it’s a question of “how good an actor was he”.
He was for whatever reason integral to defining a popular-culture phenomenon. For better or worse, intentionally or not, it is strongly shaped by his influence.

As with any sad news, my prayers are for a healthy grieving process for all involved.
sad news…
Farewell
A legend of Science Fiction, a pop culture icon, creative force and a thoroughly decent intelligent and kind man of true spirit. He lived his life as life should be lived, bringing joy to others. Thank you and god bless you Leonard Nimoy. You will live on it all who dream of a people united in peace amongst the stars. RIP.
Thank you for the journey M.Nimoy. Farewell.
