\"Leonard-Nimoy_1622089c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m taking a step away from the series of Sylum Inspirations that discuss items and places that are inspiration in or for the Sylum Universe.<\/p>\n

Though this is difficult to write – it’s only fitting to do a tribute to Leonard Nimoy. \u00a0A man who inspired all of us. \u00a0 I’m pretty sure there is not one of us here that hasn’t been inspired by him either from his role as Spock, his dedication to society causes, or just the fact he was one of those genuine nice guys.<\/p>\n

I actually had to avoid much of twitter and news for a few days because every time I would read something I would tear up, even now I’m choking up! \u00a0But while I’ll miss his work – I know his legacy lives on by the work and world he left behind.<\/p>\n

Most of us knew him as Spock:\u00a0‘Live Long And Prosper’. If you didn’t grow up with the TV Show, then you were introduced to him from the movies. \u00a0Now honestly I have never been the big Star Trek Geek (more Star Wars geek). \u00a0But even I was inspired and influenced by Spock.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What a lot of people didn’t know was that Leonard Nimoy was also an accomplished musician. \u00a0 He had an extensive Hollywood career, which included directing\u00a0and guest staring in variety of movies and TV shows.\u00a0He was\u00a0also\u00a0an advocate for Woman and Gay Rights. \u00a0In his later years he was pushed for people to Quit Smoking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But his most famous legacy was his kindness, generosity and friendships. \u00a0Those who were lucky to personally know him, will hold him in their hearts. \u00a0Those of us who knew him from the outside will forever be inspired by his greatness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for Sylum.<\/p>\n

Rest assured – there was no way at some point in the stories Spock and Kirk wouldn’t arrive. \u00a0And I’m not just referring to the vids showcasing the remake. \u00a0It’s Sylum, we never do things the way anyone expects it.<\/p>\n

Leonard – we will miss you. \u00a0Thank you for your sharing your talents and inspiring us to be great things.<\/p>\n
