Unfortunately, he passed away on February 27, 2015, at the age of 83, after his battle against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He belonged among popular actors for his talent, wisdom and humour, appreciated by his colleagues and fans. After his death, people around the world expressed their sadness and big loss by posting comments, pictures or videos on the Internet and social media.

Here are some cool, creative or memorable sharable content we have found on social media sites. The amount of pictures, posts and videos reflect how influential person he was.

This is a list of Q&A on Twitter account of actor William Shater. Shatner encouraged his 2.14M followers to ask him questions about former costar and his close friend Leonard. He responded in his manner – his original answers were funny. It’s a pity those tweets are already deleted.

The amount of sharable content in the form of pictures, statements and videos only suggest how popular and influential Leonard Nimoy was.
