Jerome Kersey passed away unexpectedly at age 52. He was just visiting school kids earlier in the week with some of his former teammates. I'm sure some of you remember him and the Blazers going up against the Pistons in 1990 (not me, I was probably in a crib).

Today is sad sad day. Sci-Fi great and just all around awesome guy. Leonard Nimoy passed away.
I can't get teary eyed for an adult I never personally knew. But this is one time I wish I could. He may have never "changed my life" or had any kind of profound affect on me. But growing up Star Trek has always been a part of my life and he was the one that always stood out for me. Only person from Star Trek that I would have a harder time dealing with would be Patrick Stewart.

RIP Mr. Spock
I grew up a HUGE Star Trek fan and would watch the original series with my Mom on late Sunday nights after the news. Even if I had school the next day I would always stay up and watch!
I've seen all the movies (even the JJ Abrams re-boots) and have went to several conventions.
I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Nimoy, Mr. Shatner & Mr. Kelly at a sci-fi convention in Sacramento before Mr. Kelly passed. Mr. Nimoy was a true gentleman.
Although I didn't get autographs I was just happy to meet them all.Last edited by YT; February 28, 2015, 01:23 PM.

Extremely sad news.
RIP Mr Spock."...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”
