\"Globe_Spock_Dead\"In a bit of sad news this afternoon, it has been reported<\/a> that Leonard Nimoy, most famous for his portrayal of Mr. Spock in TV and film’s “Star Trek”, has passed away at the age of 83.<\/p>\n

It goes without saying that this is a heavy loss for those who loved the characters he played and the man himself. We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Leonard Nimoy\u2019s friends and family.<\/p>\n

Nimoy and his contribution both on and off screen will not be forgotten. We will leave you with Nimoy\u2019s touching Twitter post from Feb. 22 including a signoff of his celebrated \u201cLive Long and Prosper\u201d phrase from Star Trek:<\/p>\n

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP<\/i><\/p>\n
