#RIPLeonardNimoy: Twitter Sends Torrents Of Tributes & Vulcan Salutes

He was cast in the original “Star Trek” sci-fi TV series in the mid-1960 for the role of Spock, which will eventually become the role that he’s most remembered for. In fact, it’s undisputed that Leonard Nimoy was a “Star Trek” legend as he made an entire career out of playing Spock.

He did once write a book titled, “I Am Not Spock”, hinting at his frustrations from being tied to his character too much. But his role provided him the iconic stature in which he relished in until his final days, on top of riches that it has provided i.e. several notable award nominations as well as wins.

He once said of being part of the “Star Trek” cast:

For the first time I had a job that lasted longer than two weeks and a dressing room with my name painted on the door and not chalked on.

Last year, he revealed that he was suffering chronic lung disease COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), caused by years of smoking. Ironically, it’s a bad habit that he had given up 30 years ago.

Earlier this week, he was taken to the hospital after suffering from chest pains. Leonard Nimoy passed away on Friday (27th Feb) morning at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles.

His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed his death. He was 83 years old.

Needless to say, news of his passing sent shockwaves around the globe. Many have taken to Twitter to express their sadness as well as to share torrents of tributes. William Shatner, who as Captain Kirk acted alongside Leonard Nimoy for years in “Star Trek”, said he loved the actor “like a brother”. NASA, on the other hand, credited Leonard and “Star Trek” as an inspiration.

Check out some of these extremely touching tweets:
