Leonard Nimoy
Live long and prosper — and your legacy will continue after you're gone. Star Trek legend Leonard Nimoy was laid to rest during a private ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Details of the Jewish service were kept intentionally under wraps in order to prevent the Westboro Baptist Church from picketing the event. (Westboro Baptist is a relatively small but extremely vocal group that hosts aggressive protests outside the funerals of servicemen and women and celebs who hold beliefs counter to its own.) The efforts were successful, as the church called off its plans after admitting it couldn't track down the funeral's location. Fortunately, the memorial proved to be peaceful and truly touching for the family and friends who attended.
"Thank you all for the love and kind words to Leonard," the late actor's family posted on his Facebook page following the event. "We lost a wonderful, talented, sweet man, a great father, husband, grandpa, and friend. RIP and LLAP."
