When Dr. Benjamin Spock died, I remember seeing an editorial cartoon. This couple was discussing Dr. Spock's death, conjuring up visions in their little son of Mr. Nimoy.
RIP Leonard. Say hi to Bones and Scotty for us. I saw a few reruns of ST when it was a staple of programming on Philly's Channel 48 (the real Channel 48, not its replacement), and to me, Leonard, yours will always be the real ST (I never saw any of the movies or the TV reboots).

P.S. I also saw a couple of ST eps (a year apart) in the auditorium at my college - before each night's main feature (a Beatles film in each case [Magical Mystery Tour in the first case, The Beatles at Shea Stadium in the second]).
I remember when we were in high school in the early to mid 1980’s, my friends and I used to screw around with my old B&W TV, playing with the antenna just to pull in the then WFAT, Channel 19, out of Johnstown, PA (we lived in the Pittsburgh area) to watch Star Trek.
