For all the kids that sat around a big old black and white TV and watched in awe...

Yes Leonard was a wonderful guy and will be remembered fondly.   RIP Leonard.   LLAPITA.  (Live Long and Prosper in the Afterlife).  :)
  Your reference to Black and white TV is a bit off though.   Star Trek started in 1966 and color TV's were very common by then and Star Trek was always filmed in color.   Despite growing up in a town that was not wealthy it seemed everyone in the neighborhood had a color TV within a year of them first becoming readily available.   I don't recall every seeing an episode of Star Trek in B&W and I was watching it from the day it started.   I suppose some still had B&W TV's though in that era.

We still had b&w in 1966.

He will be missed.  Of course, he might not like us all showing so much emotion over his death.  It is logical that every one dies and we all know this.

Hard to believe that series was written by an L.A. cop.  (Gene Roddenberry)  It really influenced a generation or two.
