penzman Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 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.

baht&sold Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) 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 Edited July 20, 2005 by baht&sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
