    We have lost one of the greatest ambassadors of the franchise, a man who gave life to one of our most beloved characters, and a good man. I am truly at a loss for words. He will live long and prosper in the hearts and minds of all Star Trek fans and the lives he touched throughout the world. Thank You Leonard Nimoy. May you rest in peace and may your spirit fly free among the stars.

    Live Long and Prosper.

    I was watching DS9 "Far Beyond the Stars" when I learned about this sad news.
    Mr Nimoy, Spock, you lived long and prospered. I hope you're dreaming well now. RIP

    I can only echo everyones sentiment thus far. But I suppose I'll just add that Mr. Spock is synonymous with Star Trek and in a great part because of Mr. Nimoy's role in the series and the life of the franchise at large afterwards. I mean he even lives on in the JJ'verse.

    His presence in this world will sorely be missed. I liked seeing him in other roles too other than Star Trek such as in the TV series Fringe as William Bell or even in something as silly as Bruno Mars' The Lazy Song (the Alternate version).

    My heart broke today when I heard the news about Mr. Nimoy's passing. Spock was my all-time favorite character in all of science fiction, not just Star Trek. He inspired me throughout my childhood and fueled my Trek fandom and will continue to do so. Leonard brought his exceptional talent to the role and created a legend. Rest in Peace, Mr. Nimoy. LLAP

    Rest in peace, Mr. Nimoy. You were such an important role model in my life and for countless others. I hope you know how important and loved you were. You will be missed.

    The character he played for whom he is most famous appealed to so many of us because of how well it portrayed a fundamental irony of the human condition -- that we all feel ourselves outsiders, who have to learn how to be human. Nimoy continued to develop the character over the years, and our last sight of Spock was of a person who has attained wisdom and inner peace.

    By all accounts, Leonard Nimoy lived his life well, and he gave us all a gift, for which we are grateful.
