He was such a nice man and funny and talented. Aw, I am really going to miss him. I know he had COPD and I read he was ill but I was hoping he'd be okay and make it longer. His going definitely leaves a huge void. I was totally raised to be a Trek fan. Dad was always watching it and I became addicted to it very young. Spock was always my favorite Trek character. Only John De Lancie's Q even comes close to rivaling my affection for Nimoy and Spock. It's like a favorite uncle died or something. I am SO sad right now. I really am. RIP Mr Nimoy. You will be so missed!
