James Doohan.

Just wanted to wish him and his loved ones Godspeed, and all the best. I have, my loss I'm sure, not seen his work outside of Trek, but even just for Trek alone I'm grateful. He invested his Engineer with a flair and a warmth and a solid dependability that brought the character to life and made him instantly lovable. And yes, I had something of a crush on Scotty back in my younger days.
