"A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP" - Leonard Nimoy's last tweet
beautiful
Beautiful.
He will be remembered.
There is truth in that statement.
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty".
I don't usually get upset when celebrities die, but... this is different...
well i mean he was 83 and have you seen him lately he was looking like he was dead already, so me im not sad but its not like im happy he is gone
tim gersh He also had a heart disease from smoking most of his life. I read an article that said about 30 years ago was when he finally stopped.
indeed it was different..NASA put up a very nice Tweet honoring him, "Spock" was highly respected in the scientific community
Actually shocked me as well, when I heard about this.
same for me ,my son called me ,he knew that i loved mr.spock.me and sheldon will never be the same.
Leonard Nimoy, Spock of ‘Star Trek,’ Dies at 83
"83 years, 10 months and 26 days, to be more precise, Captain"
Lol
The passing of Leonard Nimoy makes me sad because I remember always going home and just seeing my dad on the couch watching re-runs of Star-Trek and I would sit down and watch them with him. Seeing him leave us is like seeing a part of the family leave us. This man will always be remembered in my family. RIP Leonard Nimoy
A part of my childhood has died. His memory will live long and prosper in my heart. Rest In Peace, Mr. Nimoy.
Mr Nimoy, thank you very much for the countless happy and sad moments you've given to me from my childhood to this day.
sad….but we have dvd's so he lives on in our hearts.
***** okay ..silly dvd's. be nice! I do not watch video or tv much. Live on my laptop. Netflicks works for me.
*****
He has been and always shall be our friend. And I think, that he lived a good life, created countless interesting things and fought the good fight. His life was fulfilled and this gives comfort.
Amen...
Because of Star Trek and especially because of Leonard Nimoy I started to study physics.
Wenn I got to the audition for my scholarship I talked about this particular subject and how I think of the future of mankind. In the end, I got the scholarship. I owe him more than I could imagine.
Looks like people care about the colour of that dress more than Leonard Nimoy's death.
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy
You ain't kiddin'.
on film He lives forever, the hell the dress .
Goes to show where people interests are. An iconic film hero getting less internet traffic then a colorblind quiz made into a clothing. *lets out long sigh*.......
The dress should have about as much staying power as a water skiing squirrel video. In a week or so, we will have completely forgotten about the bloody thing.
Two hundred thousand people (so far) have re-tweeted his poignant final message and the armies of sci-fi fans will keep Mr. Nimoy's memory alive.
and logically so.
My childhood hero. My parents called me Spock. ( I have HFA) sad to see another intelligent life force gone from our planet.
I really would love if the people in charge of the next Star Trek movie could see this post, but even if they don't, I want to share this idea with you all.
I really think it would be an emotional and perfect way to honor Leonard Nimoy one last time by having the next film open with the Enterprise crew attending the funeral of Spock Prime, paying their respects with a very brief little eulogy. Then the title card comes up, and the proper movie begins.
A simple, but perfectly respectable way to honor Nimoy before boldly going forward again. Please make it so, Paramount.
I like your idea.
That would be perfect.
Jones6192---why don't you contact Paramount maybe they just need a nudge. I think it would be a great opening to a great actor and human being. For just a 10 minute or so opening. I think your idea would be very acceptable. Leonard Nimoy did live long and prosper. I grew up with Star Trek and to this day will watch as much as I can. At my house today I shall watch Start Trek Into Darkness.
Okay Jones6192 I will post on my Facebook page maybe somebody will see it?
Jones6192 I posted to my Facebook page. I hope the right people see this.

Live long and prosper, Mr. Nimoy. Thank you for inspiring us to look upward to the stars and to embrace a universal consciousness.
Star Trek wouldn't be the same without Leonard Nimoy as Spock. He is and always going be one of the best Star Trek actors that has ever lived.
So it is half of the hebrew letter "Shin"... neet!
Let me be the judge of your attempts at greeting.
He died😢😭
It is extremely sad that this great man passed away! He will live forever as Mr. Spock in our hearts and minds!
It might be difficult for anyone under the age of 40 to understand the impact Leonard Nimoy had on budding young minds of the 60s, 70s and 80s. He was a colossus of the science fiction genre, you'll never see his like again. I studied engineering because of Montgomery Scott but it was Spock who inspired me to endeavour and succeed. Rest in peace Leonard.
My mom told me that he passed today, and I broke into tears. I had met William Shatner briefly for a photo at one of his shows on stage where he talks about his life, but I had never met my favorite, Leonard Nimoy. I was hoping I would someday, but now that dream is crushed. I felt like he was almost like my friend. I remember you in the music video for The Lazy Song. I'll miss you Leonard Nimoy, Spock, and singer of Bilbo Baggins! You will forever be in my heart!
RIP to a very good actor and overall decent human being. Sheldon Cooper is going to be CRUSHED!
I wonder if they'll do something on the Big Bang Theory to honor him?
***** I heard it from a Kingdom Hearts video in the comments and couldn't believe it. I've lost count how many times they've quoted Spock in that show. Not to mention the episode where Sheldon's action figure spoke to him in a dream with a cameo VA from Nimoy himself.
kirara2516
so many times spock has been mentioned in some form during the big bang theory.. his DNA on a napkin, the action figure, restraining order, rock paper sissors lizard spock, etc etc.
They're definitely going to do a read heartfelt episode as a tribute to Leonard Nimoy as they did with Carol Ann Susi.
He will need a hot beverage...
jopo2122 That will be an episode worth seeing over and over again. There will also be many tears shed.
Sheldon Cooper is going to be devastated.
RIP Nimoy.
R.I.P. Galvatron.
Vigo 894 ...Wait wasn't Galvatron evil and killed many people.
He will need a hot beverage.
A great actor died and all you can think of is some idiotic show for "science hipsters."
Pathetic...
Gothicfan51 guy, its been a hard day and we are just trying to find something to smile about...
Some my most cherished memories as a child, is sitting on the couch watching Star Trek with my father. Your character Mr. Spock touched my life and I thank you for that Mr. Nimoy. You shall be missed
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy. I am not usually this saddened by the passing of a celebrity... But you.. You were different. Thanks for the memories. You truly lived long and prospered
Oh man. Part of my growing up was watching the original Star Trek series. It would not be the same without Leonard Nimoy as Spock. You will be missed. RIP.
When I heard about his death last night I couldn't resist tearing up. It was Leonard Nimoy's character that ignited my interest in space and the possibility that there is life outside of our planet. He was like a father I never had, his character teaching everyone a variety of lessons about our humanity. The world will remember him as Leonard Nimoy, but also as Spock. #LiveLongAndProsper #YouAreSpock
WOW..feeling old and sad today....how bereft and barren life seems without him.....RIP Mr Spock. Thanks for the memories.
He gave us Spock, the mind meld and the legendary Vulcan nerve pinch, which I can still feel from gradeschool recesses. Rip Leonard Nimoy.
When I first saw star trek in the mid 70s one character made it instantly into my heart. It was not only the character it was the person who played it. I had to cry instantly when I heared Leonard Nimoy died. A good human being left us forever. Rest in peace my friend.
Very sad day for Trek fans. Met him in 1972 when I was 7 years old at a toy store appearance in Phila... I'll never forget it.
The world will miss that ever-calming presence of his. Godspeed, Mr. Nimoy...
This mans life should be celebrated. Thankyou...You have been and always will be an important part of who I am.
RIP Mr. Nimoy, you lived long and you prospered. You were an inspiration to many and you will never be forgotten.
RIP and thank you for the great memories you gave us growing up and beyond...
Nimoy - An Icon for the ages and a man so, so many will miss for the rest of our lives; that as we live on by Spock's saying, "Live long and prosper" let the cosmic winds of time diminish not one grain nor atom of his being or character through his passing and 'Star Trek' to the furthest reaches of heaven. RIP, Leonard 'Spock' Nimoy - And, God Speed.
We all lost a good soul Friday. I will always remember the times I watched the original Star Trek with my father when I was a little kid. Some of the few times spent with my father and for that I will always appreciate the fun hour Leonard Nimoy gave us.
"Of my friend I can only say this: of all the souls I've encountered in my travels, his was the most........Human"
RIP Leonard Nimoy and thank you.
There goes part of my childhood. Rest in peace my friend.
well i was born in 85 way after star trek and growing up then he was always like uncle spock
100$ on that Ken I did not know that he was a song writer and singer. Naughty me.
One more icon of my childhood passed away...
As Mr Spock,he taught me the value of being objective,analytic,being true to myself and to other people and how to be a loyal friend and family man.
As Leonard Nimoy,he influenced me as an adult,regarding his approach to art.
It feels like I had two fathers and one is dead.
Not forgotten though.......I won't forget.
RIP Leonard Nimoy! Thank you for doing this video. Such a sad day.
You had the best ears in the business, Spock. Rest in peace, Leonard Nimoy. Boldly go where no one has gone before!
It's hard to accept when you have seen a particular celebrity all your life on the TV and in movies, it is like losing a good family friend. RIP Leonard and thanks for your many wonderful performances
I'll always remember those Sunday evenings back in the early 70s when Star Trek aired, with my mother calling for dinner and me "just a minute, Star Trek is almost done". It was a weekly ritual, going back to my boyhood. Leonard Nimoy (Spock) played an essential inspirational role in my youth. Thank you!
Sadly ... A 'LEGEND' Has Left Us :(
March 26, 1931- February 27, 2015 (83 yrs)
R.I.P. Leonard ... TQ for Everything ...
Heartfelt Condolences to his family members ...
LIFE ...
How sad to say goodbye to an old friend. RIP Leonard. RIP
I love you Spock. RIP xx
Unbelievably sad. What a loss my prayers to him and his family. He's character taught me so much and gave me so many memories. Rip my birthday will be a little more sad because we have the same birthday and he was such an inspiration.
Rest in peace Leonard Nimoy. You lived long and we all prospered from what you gave us. You will be missed
Thank you for the memories, Leonard.
Great actor,poet,writer,singer and musician Leonard Nimoy was all these am really sad that you have gone and thank you so much for all that you gave to us God bless
A fascinating and good person, indeed. He was part of our culture and changed the World in a positive way with his movies and TV shows and narration.
I once quit a job and told my boss to live long and prosper.
One of my few heroes.
Leonard Nimoy, Spock of ‘Star Trek,’ Final transport at 83
Leonard Nimoy made Mr. Spock one of the most iconic, memorable characters from any Sci-Fi.
This is so sad I'm a huge Star Trek fan and when they showed the scene with him and Kirk on the other sides of the window I was moved to tears
Farewell, Mr.Nimoy. The heavens have beamed you up.
Rest in peace. You did live long and indeed prospered. You have been and always will be our hero.
I've not watched much of star trek but I know enough about it that I can say R.I.P. spock.
I will remember his life and his legacy will live long and prosper
He will be sorely missed by so many including me. RIP Mr Nemoy
Very well done. Thank you.
I used to hold movie marathon's at my house with the movies being Star Trek. I think I'll have to start those back up again. I loved the show and their movies and he will be missed.
You will live long and prosper in our memories Mr.Spock always!!You we’re part of my upcoming years and I will never forget you!Thank you Leonard Nimoy!!
A great man, gone too soon. You brought joy to so many, and were an inspiration to us all. LLAP my friend.
Thank you for all the good times and memories, Mr. Nimoy.
Nice and touching tribute. It's sad and inevitable that we will see all of our iconic actors and actresses pass in our lifetime. However, even with their loss we continue to enjoy them with our video libraries and fond memories.
He lived long and prospered. Thank you Leonard for sharing your talents with us. He will never forget you.
Very Nicely Done. R.I.P.
He taught me how to live and think critically,R.I.P. The world needs a personality, as Spock today.
Leonard Nimoy...I am saddened by the loss of this man who gave us so much to our lives as Mr. Spock, Paris and host of In Search Of. So much he gave us and so much we gladly received. The loss I feel runs deep...like an old friend of almost 50 years. With your passing, I shall mourn (sob, sob, sob). In our hearts, forever.
THANK YOU!
Mr. Spock, may we all...LIVE LONG & PROSPER!!!
he made me watch star trek..i miss him but he will not be forgotten..thank you sir
What amazing performances. What an incredible man. RIP
i'am very sad for the lost of one of my favorite programs and stars.rest in peace my friend!
I used to wait for that show "in search of" to watch nimoy host that show he was perfect for it.R.I.P Mr.Nimoy.thankyou for entertaining us all those years.
there's a quote from The Wrath of Khan, i think this is an appropriate time for it.
"I can only say this: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most human."
I..... am crying..... R.I.P Leonard Nimoy
Wish i could of met you...spoken to you, shared a laugh or two...thanks for the fond memories and may you rest in peace as the peaceful soul you seemed to be. Live long and forever beyond the final frontier.
Such a humble guy, he was a BIG STAR but seemed like an ordinary guy you could sit down and have a conversation with.
A legend has passed away.
What a sad day for the world! Rest In Peace Leonard Nimoy!
A legend and icon that will be sorely missed.
I love the man and his character of Spock. he was my favorite character on Star Trek he will be truly missed. LLAP
One actor who understood that it was a job, and never took it or himself over-seriously.
I cant help but Cry
So sad! And I never got to meet him! Right when I'm about halfway through watching all episodes of the original Star Trek.
Rest In Peace Mr. Nimoy, you will be missed.
Love Mr. Spock. Love Leonard Nimoy.
His Spock defined cool.
Now that Nimoy is dead I finally realize, I need some more Star Trek. Not the just okay action Star Trek Movies in cinema, but this hole inside star trek universe feeling, which made me study computer sciene and physics and makes me enjoy dreaming every day about, if there is more than just this fu**ed up world.
Plz give us back some inspiration. I could need some right now.
RIP
My sincerest condolences to the family of Leonard Nimoy, who has sadly passed away age 83. He will forever be
remembered for his role as "Spock" in the 1960's Sci-Fi series "Star Treck" You will be sadly missed.
Great life to have led.
Live Long and Prosper, Leonard. Your work will live forever. RIP
made me cry.
He lived long and prospered. RIP
Indeed the best actor of all time on the TV set. A mission impossible has finally come to an end.
Nimoy will be missed.
See u soon in the stars of heaven. RIP.
I spoke personally with Leonard Nimoy in 2010 Calgary Comicon. His response to my question was "Anything is possible". My question is irrelevant. His films and our memories of him will live long and prosper.
Well that's just great. I was crying at that scene from The Wrath of Khan when Nimoy WASN'T dead. How am I supposed to watch that movie NOW?! ...Thank you Mr. Nimoy.
Leonard, Farewell and thank you very much.....
I forgot how great of a narrator he was for a lot of these historical and mystery specials...
R.I.P., Mr. Nimoy. Thanks for all of your work, and a great career, in front of the camera and otherwise. Thank you for also bringing one of the most forever iconic TV (and film) characters to life, in logical living color. I still think about the little two minute part you did in 'Them,' and how you added something to that great sci-fi flick with just that little scene. Goodbye, my friend.
Take care, Spock. Wherever you may be, continue living and prospering - and watching Captain Kirk's back. :)
I worked at my schools play. On back stage before the show the lead actor asked who should we dedicate the show to. I then said we should dedicate it to Lenard Nimoy. Another actor was surprised to hear that he was dead.
Great actor,great caracter ,great human ,i am very sad from uruguay
A decent gentleman and a great actor. We will all miss you, but your memory will LIVE LONG AND PROSPER through Star trek and many other films and animations where his voice can be known no matter where it is heard. Scotty beam him into heaven with yourself and Bones. God give him eternal peace with you guys.....
a sad fairwell to a true icon thanks for all the enjoyment.live long and prosper
Very intelligent man. Thank you for your inspiration and farewell!!!
I am profoundly honored to have been alive at the time Leonard Nimoy walked the Earth.
How beautifully stated. Thank you.
A big part
of my boyhood
went beyond
the stars today.
I'd rush home
after school
in an illogical
sort of way.
He got me through
a patch of pain
way back in '73.
And would probably
arch an eyebrow.
Learning what he
meant to me.
And midst
the years
I've still gone back.
Reflect how far
I've come.
A special place
is in my heart
for one
of Boston's Sons.
And so,
a sad salute
I give.
With fingers
slightly parting.
Go boldly on
where all souls go.
For Death,
Like Life,
means Starting.
So venture on
new enterprise,
You've just began again.
And thanks
For always being there-
You always were
my friend.
