    So sad….i saw him on Oprah one day. He’s really inspiring. What he said on Oprah that day gave me a new perpective in life. What Oprah would call it “Light bulb moment”. God bless n RIP.

    This is very sad news. He was a great man and an inspiration to many, including me. I was so happy to hear that J.J. gave him a small role on the new Star Trek and I was really hoping that he would make it long enough to see himself when the movie premiered in May. Thank you J.J. for making one of his dreams come true.

    You will be missed my friend. Beam him up, dad
