I can't say I followed him closely, and he didn't have the ubiquitous presence of Shatner or Takei's amazing presence in social media, but by all accounts he was a solid guy. And frankly, he did this, so he must be cool. Safe travels space man.

Mr. Leonard Nimoy was born in 1931. Less than three weeks before the Empire State Building was completed.
Today is, literally, the first day the Empire State stands in a world without Leonard Nimoy.

I'm not grieving, not really. He was an impressive actor who lent his face to an impressive character. He is stamped on pop-culture like few other things. Even people who don't know Trek know Mr. Spock. In large part because Mr. Nimoy did such an outstanding job. He didn't just entertain people, but he touched them, or the Trekkies wouldn't be so obsessed. As far as the arts go, that's a full score, I reckon.
He had a long run, and he saw some stuff. Maybe not a happy life, I don't know, but he lived it, lived it well. Good job, sir.
Just feels weird that he's gone ...

I never knew he directed Three Men And A Baby.
That being said, my 20-something coworker looked at his picture when I mentioned that he had passed, and true to the Youtube generation he actually attempted to show me the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, which of course I have already watched.

Sad to see a person with such a body of work, outstanding, against type, silly, and everything in between pass away, but then it comes for us all.

Godspeed.

Given the convoluted time-space continuum backandforthery of Star Trek, and the fact that he already died once and was resurrected, I think Leonard is ok. If Khan couldn't kill him for good, nobody can. Old Spock may have died, but there are other Spocks out there in the universe somewhere for sure.
