Goodbye Mr. Spock.

Kirk's words at the funeral of Mr. Spock at the end of "Star Trek 2" fit here well:

Aww, Donny! I'm sorry to hear that! You have my condolences on the loss of your grandfather!

Take care!

Norman

Thank you for remembering & posting, HappyCamper!
I was just about to make the first announcement here, myself.

And, I just remember, a specific & very obscure Nimoy-WAM connection:
I believe it Mr Nimoy pied himself in that short-lived1976-1977 comedy tv variety The Captain & Tennille show.

Can anyone here back up my memory?

My sincere condolences,Donnylad.

The hashtag that is trending on Twitter right now, a lot of meaning to an actor who we all loved as Spock in Star Trek, Leonard Nimoy, wonderfully talented in many areas of life. Will be missed by fans. The tributes from his co-stars and friends are very touching too.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words much appreciated

this year is looking like it's not going to be a good year for geeks
