Live Long and Prosper...No More: Goodbye Mr. Spock

LEONARD NIMOY (1931-Feb. 27, 2015)

TV Guide lists him as one of the 50 greatest TV characters.  Best-known for his role as Mr. Spock, the half Vulcan, half human science officer on the Starship Enterprise.  He first worked with co-star Wiliam Shatner in a 1964 episode of "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."

Then there were all those "Star Trek" movies and even the appearances on the new "Star Trek" movies.

I remember at NIU while living in Lincoln Dormitory freshman year, right after dinner, our room would fill up with about 12-15 guys and we'd watch reruns of "Star Trek" on WGN.  We had the only TV on the floor there in the 1969-1970 year.  It was a massive 13-inch black and white.

We'll Miss Him.
