Default Sad day. Spock has died.

Leonard Nimoy ( Spock to all of us ) has passed away.
Truly a sad day.
Illogical.

I have been to two events with him (one with Roddenberry who defined what we all believe in). He was a real person not merely a personality.

Enough said.

Just Jerry

edit:

I have a personal friend who got an Emmy on a Roddenberry new series.

Sometimes when an older beloved actor departs I think "sad but not sorry, he had a good run and gave us lots of entertainment."

But Nimoy was more than a retired actor. He wrote, photographed, directed, and commented. A wise old guy who was still contributing, still involved. His second to last "Tweet" was a poem that ended:

"The miracle is this: the more we share the more we have."

Peaceful rest to you, Mr. Nimoy.
