On Friday February 27th, 2015 a legend of the Star Trek World was lost; to the real world he was Leonard Nimoy; but to those of us from the Star Trek World those of us who call ourselves Trekkies or Trekkers; he was Mr. Spock from Star Trek The Original Series from the original Star Trek Movies, a handful of Star Trek The Next Generation episodes and from the 2 new Remakes of the Star Trek The Original Series called Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness. He was also the voice for Sentinel Prime in Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.
He sadly lost his battle with COPD he died from the end stages of the disease. He has truly boldly gone ahead of us joining his fellow Star Trek Family onto Heaven.
Leonard Simon Nimoy was born on March 26, 1931 in the West End of Boston, Massachusetts, the son of Yiddish-speaking Orthodox Jewish immigrants from Iziaslav, Soviet Union (now Ukraine). His parents left Iziaslav separately—his father first walking over the border into Poland—and reunited in the United States. His mother, Dora (née Spinner), was a homemaker, and his father, Max Nimoy, owned a barbershop in the Mattapan section of the city.
Nimoy began acting at the age of 8 in a children's and neighborhood theater. His parents wanted him to attend college and pursue a stable career, or even learn to play the accordion—with which, his father advised, Nimoy could always make a living—but his grandfather encouraged him to become an actor. His first major role was at 17, as Ralphie in an amateur production of Clifford Odets' Awake and Sing!, which dealt with the struggles of a matriarchal Jewish family during the Great Depression. Nimoy said the role "lit a passion" that led him to pursue an acting career. "I never wanted to do anything else."
