Besides being well-known for Star Trek, he was also a member of the Canadian forces on D-Day that landed on Juno beach. _________________________ "Without the darkness, how would we see the light?" ~ Tuvok Editor for Television Category

I loved his commonsense approach to engineering the Enterprise...and his ability to stand up to [ and sometimes even overide] the pretty-taken -with -himself Captain Kirk! _________________________ A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is just putting on its shoes - Mark Twain

I could see the joy on his face when he greeted fans or when he was interviewed. He shall be missed. I like that his wishes will be honored. It makes sense.
