"A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP" - Leonard Nimoy's last tweet

Leonard Nimoy created a character that transcended a small screen, and even a large screen. He made being smart and logical and respectful and responsible 'cool' - and had the ability to not take it all too seriously. Such a likable and talented soul. Thanks for the memories...

Most actors cant remember breakfast yet Nimoy recalls lines, scenes, names, from ages ago. Always impressed by this guy. Our sincere loss he is not with us anymore!

I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Nimoy via Skype during a Star Trek convention. Had his grandson come on and sing a song with Mr. Nimoy. Thank you, Away Mission for this opportunity.

Who doesn't love Spock?
Thank you, Leonard, for bringing him to us.

Leonard Nimoy was always such a cool dude. He gave us a lot of greatness over the years.

actually I always thought that Jim Kirk saying that of all the souls he encountered Spock's was the most Human, was so touching. I had tears in my eyes.

Years after his passing, he is still sadly missed as though he left us yesterday.

Thank you Mr. Nimoy for being part of my life for 55 years. I always could find comfort and enjoyment in anything you did. Never knew there was such a thoughtful and profoundly beautiful and life loving side to you. You are missed and held in highest regards. I only wish we could have met. Thank you Geoff for this wonderful interview. I bet you will never forget it. I hope I won't.

This man made Spock, a "logical" character the most human and humane of all the characters in the show.

He is so wise. After all these years and many wrinkles later, he is even more beautiful.

I met Mr Nimoy in 1980 in the Sioux Falls Down Holiday Inn where I was a Bellman. I had been dispatched to the airport to retrieve his wife and bring her to the hotel! As I carried her luggage into the suite Mr Nimoy was seated at a desk and turned to thank me! If I hadn’t known ahead of time whom I was sent to pick up I probably would’ve been awestruck!!

His voice was always one people could recognize, very distinct. He left behind a positive impact on our society, which is something many of us could only hope for. People will miss him, but we have so many things to remember him by, enough to keep him alive forever. RIP.
