Farewell, Mr. Nimoy

I learned today that Leonard Nimoy passed away.

I grew up watching reruns of the Star Trek series.  And, I enjoyed all of the Star Trek movies, my favorite being Star Trek III: The Search For Spock.

Several years ago I came across a DVD copy of the animated Transformers movie I’d watched as an 11-year-old, and yeah, I bought it.  Leonard Nimoy was the voice of one of the Decepticons in that one.  How cool is that?

While he wasn’t my favorite actor, he played a lot of iconic roles, and was part of the landscape of my life.  As far as I know, he was a pretty decent human being, too, which is kind of a rarity these days in the acting biz.  I respect that about him.

I’m getting older and it’s given me a glimpse of my own mortality.  Time flies, and I’m trying to live my life better, for the things that matter.

Mr. Nimoy, your time on Earth, and in Space: The Final Frontier, won’t be forgotten.  Thanks for the great memories & God bless.
