Beam Me Up Scotty!

[penzman]

He died today at age 85, suffering from pneumonia and alzheimer's disease.

I had no idea he was born in Vancouver, Canada. He also landed on Juno beach with the Canadian forces on D-Day where he took six bullets from a machine gun, also lost a finger which never showed in the Star Trek episodes.

R.I.P.

Penz, I had no idea either and North Vancouver is my backyard...

Thanks also for pointing out the more significant detail I wasn't aware of, his services and sacrifice at Juno beach.

R.I.P. indeed

What a shame, but who would have guessed he was that old, I am sure he kept hold of his beaming machine and got himself beamed up to the right place

RIP Scottie

Also shows how old we are all getting does'nt it. I was a great Trekkie fan in my younger days

I was in love with the bird with the boobs and the black tights when I was 12!!!

Don’t know what to add. I am a “Trekkie’ and “Beam me up Scottie” has been in my vocabulary since my teens.

Gods speed.

There was a funy scene with Scotty on the Simpsons.

Homer was watching tv and a new Star Trk movie advert comes on.

Star Trek 12: So Very Tired.

The whole cast were now in their 60's and Scotty was shown at his post with a huge pot belly resting against the table.

"It's not gud Captin! I ken not reech the contrrrol panul!

Scottie,

May you rest in peace, Chief!

We love you.

Kayo.
