Thanks: 
Don't know how many Trek fans we have here, but it truly a the end of an era. I am saddened to announce that Leonard Nimoy, famous for bringing life to the half-Vulcan pop culture icon, Mr. Spock, has passed away after a long illness.
Nimoy was hospitalized earlier this week due to complications from "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease", a condition of the lungs caused from years of smoking.
In a fitting last comment to his fans, Spock tweeted 3 days ago, "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP".
All I can say is that Nimoy lived his catchphrase to the end- he "Lived long and prospered".
RIP
