Leonard Nimoy Passes Away at 83

[Administrator]

Leonard Nimoy, the actor best known for his role as Spock in Star Trek, died Friday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 83. The New York Times has a full obituary for the actor.
His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed his passing. She said the cause of death was end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Nimoy had been hospitalized earlier in the week.
Nimoy played Spock in the original Star Trek series in the 1960s, later appearing in--and directing--some of the 1980s Star Trek movies. He also had a small role in J.J. Abrams' 2009's Star Trek reboot.
The actor's film and TV credits are numerous. Some might also remember him from a memorable episode of The Simpsons, the 1997 classic "The Springfield Files."
Nimoy also did voicework for video games such as Seaman and Civilization IV.
His final tweet is beautiful.

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP
