Rest in Peace, Mr. Spock
Leonard Nimoy was one of the most respected and admired actors in geekdom for good reason.
I met Mr. Nimoy at Dragon Con at a double photo op with William Shatner. As soon as it was my turn, in a mindless fit of enthusiasm I squeezed both of the gentlemen’s shoulders with an undignified squeal and thanked them for coming out to see the fans.

Mr. Nimoy smiled warmly and said it was his pleasure to be there. Shatner nodded and seemed cheered by his friend’s presence. Every panel they did, and I saw all of them, showcased a deep friendship.
Of all my celebrity encounters, this is one of my all time favorites. Leonard Nimoy is irreplaceable, but he will live long in our hearts.
