Tribute to Leonard Simon Nimoy


If I ever was a fan of anything, I was and am a fan of Star Trek and first and foremost its first and original incarnation (TOS). No other character iin any fictional setting has influenced my life as Spock.
While my love for SF and SciFi started with reading Heinlein's "Space Cadets".It was Leonard Nimoy's character in Star Trek that made me study physics and instilled my passion for Science.

Many years later, my life changed and I became involved in the film industry in Hollywood and I was very fortunate to meet Mr. Nimoy. Of all the Hollywood stars I ever met, he was everything I envisioned and more. Friendly and witty,paired with great talent and great intellect.

On February 27, 2015 he passed away and joined James Dohan and Deforest Kelley in the great beyond.

So it is a personal tribute I include a page about him in my Wiki.

"Of Leonard Nimoy, I can only say this: Of all the actors and celebrities I have encountered in my travels, his was the most....  human."
