1. Yeah, it's sad.

Scotty and Bones, both gone. Shouldn't there be a Star Trek marathon on Sci-Fi or something?

2. I Saw Footage Of Him At His Last ST Convention...

... he seemed very weak and slow-moving. He appeared to be swaying as he stood still, and needed help with walking.

Had he had a stroke recently?

I'm sorry he's gone.

3. Yeah, I kept seeing clips of him on tv

But never actually heard anywhere that he died.

I was going to check for a link on DU, but kept getting sidetracked.

I loved the man.

I think they announced a few years back that he had Alzheimers.

Wherever you are, Scotty, beam me up.

4. A couple of interesting "Scotty" notes...

He took six bullets at D-day and lived another sixty years.

He fathered a child at the age of eighty.

Was this guy some sort of superhuman ninja, or what?
