James Doohan, the man who brought us Scotty on the original Star Trek, is gone. He passed away early this morning from pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease.
I was lucky enough to see him at a convention once, back in the late 80s. He was warm, funny, personable, and charmingly irascible in that talk. From all reports, that's a pretty accurate description of the man.
Godspeed Jimmy, and thank you for everything.
