The Great and Logical Leonard Nimoy has Died: May Spock Live Long and Prosper Passing into that Final Frontier

     Another great member of the Star Trek's most famous ship, the starship Enterprise has left the bridge today.  Leonard Nimoy has passed away of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) caused by a decades long habit of smoking.

"Live long and Prosper"

     Many mourn this loss of the half-Vulcan Mr. Spock.  Nimoy has left us with an important and lasting message of peace, logic, and beauty through his last Tweet:

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