Unfortunate about developing alzheimers. That has to be a tough one to work with every day.

Well... it was good of him to stay around so long. "Scotty" made for many fun jokes as a kid -- the dilithium crystals, wapr factor 10, the scotch, the all the "aye aye Captain" stuff and those dire moments of "I'm giving it all she's got! The engines can't take this much longer, Captain!"

It's nice that he was able to stay active with his character's icon status. That's hard to do with Alzheimer's. Interesting that he wasn't even Scottish - those whacky Canadians can do anything! Hope he had a happy life.

It's sad that as a Canadian I didn't even know he was Canadian! I thought he WAS Scottish all along!

It's just like the guy who does the "Lucky Charms" cereal voice isn't Scottish either! LOL.

Mike.

particularly funny because the little Lucky Charms guy is an Irish accent
