One thing I admired him for was how vocal he was about smoking. He hadn't smoked for a long time, but he'd already caused irreversible damage to his body and tried to keep others from repeating his mistake.
Man, when I get around to my eventual Fringe rewatch those episodes after his character dies are gonna be really bittersweet. I guess a small part of him will live on in Anna Torv's William Bell impression.
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

I always feel weird getting upset over the death of a celebraty I never actually knew, but I am genuinly choked up over this. Just a good dude we dont have anymore, but crwth is right, and we were lucky to have him.
"Accepting death - by understanding that every life comes to an end, when time demands it. Loss of life is to be mourned, but only if the life was wasted." (Spock to younger Spock in Yesteryear - STA)
Star Trek was a big part of my childhood and Mr. Nimoy was always a beloved public figure and a delight to see in any of his numerous appearances elsewhere.
I'll miss him, but dare I say it... he lived long and prospered.
When I lived in Hawaii, there was a very small local convention that a lot of bigger celebrities would come out to, pretty much just as a tax deductible vacation. Thanks to that, the attendees got a little more time to chat and mingle with the stars than they probably would anywhere else.
Back then, I was still studying Art, and I mentioned to him that I'd been using some of his photography for figure drawing references, on days when it was too rainy to go outside and draw live people. He was always polite and attentive to Trek-related conversations, but mentioning his photography really brought him alive. We chatted for close to half an hour, and he tried to talk me into bringing my portfolio for him to look through on the second day of the con. But my apartment was on another island, and my flight home wasn't until after the show. I always meant to scan some stuff in and email it to him, but here we are, over a decade later, and it's too late.
Anyway, top-quality person. He'll be missed.
Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this sucks. He always seemed pretty alright with the world though and got to do a ton of great things, so at least there's that. Another one on the list of people I wish I would have got a chance to meet.
I wonder if he finished his voice work for Kingdom Hearts 3? He was such a fun villain in the last two.

"Heh.. I don't do that anymore."
Currently has Star Treks 2 and 6 available apparently. And all of TOS I think.
So yeah, this sucks
A fitting tribute for one of the Little Rascals.
dude lived a long and seemingly fulfilling life
can't ask for much more than that
rip to him
It's not surprising or premature
but that guy was top-shelf human being.
So it's sad.

We lost a good one today folks. RIP.
You really can't ask for much better than Nimoy's life.

Fortytwo's blog about fatherhood, life, and everything.
The thing was `say three words that describe Leonard Nimoy'
Most of the cast said nice things, and Karl Urban said `green blooded hobgoblin'
and it was wonderful
He was that good.

Getting started with BATTLETECH: Part 1 / Part 2
May the Force be with him.
Nimoy got live a great life. I'm sad to see he's gone though.

God damn that man has more energy than I do.
I'll miss him, but dare I say it... he lived long and prospered.
Damn it, I'm not gonna cry. I'm not. I'm not.

You were a class act, Mr. Nimoy. And an integral part of my childhood.
RIP
