Leonard Nimoy stated "I am not Spock, but if I could choose another person to be, I would choose Spock." On November 27th, 2015 Nimoy descended into the stars to finally stand by the Angels who would always call him Spock.

The cause of his death was listed as end stage Coronary Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, COPD. Even though he followed his grandfather's advice to give up smoking now, it was not soon enough. He had given up smoking 30 years ago. Yes, 30 years ago he sought to be healthier and it was not soon enough.

One week ago he was admitted to the hospital for severe chest pains and released. He died Friday Morning in his Bel Air home. The news shocked the world and some of his star trek friends mourned him on Twitter.

"I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love." -William Shatner

"We return you now to the stars, Leonard. You taught us to 'Live Long And Prosper,' and you indeed did, friend," Takei wrote.

My dad is 79 years old, he has COPD & Emphysema (continues to smoke but has cut down) and was rushed to the ER by ambulance because of severe congestion and he was wheezing extremely loud and had difficulty breathing. The hospital wanted to do a chemical stress test which can cause a heart attack and they were giving him dangerous meds so after the 2nd day, we checked out against doctors orders and left with him still very sick, but within a 8-days he is like new, his blood pressure was 211/92 and now it's 124/71. The only things we used was Serrapeptase, NAC, olive leaf extract and Nettle Leaf, magnesium lotion and at night he has warm water with a teaspoon of medicinal honey and two capfuls of Apple Cider Vinegar. He continues to take all the supplements and is doing fantastic! He cut down on Serrapeptase, he started out taking 2 Doctors Best Serrapeptase 120,000 3 times a day until the congestion cleared up and now he's just taking one at night. No side effects and he feels better than ever
