Leonard Nimoy was a well know actor known for his role in Star Trek as well as hosting many documentaries and directing.
Nimoy was also a man who gave his time for charitable endeavors.
Nimoy had been suffering from COPD for over a year, after developing the disease from years of smoking over a pack of cigarettes per day.
"I quit smoking 30 yrs ago. Not soon enough," Nimoy tweeted in Jan. 2014, publicly announcing his COPD diagnosis.
He passed away February 2015.
Produced by Nimoy’s daughter, Julie Nimoy, and her husband, David Knight of Health Point Productions, COPD: Highly Illogical reveals the last few months of the famed actor’s life, which was claimed by the disease in February of last year. Nimoy’s COPD stemmed from both his smoking addiction and the fact that his decade-long struggle with the disease wasn’t officially diagnosed until 2013, when it was past the point of effective treatment.
“Movie enthusiasts and science fiction fans alike were captivated by my father, Leonard Nimoy, in his role as Mr. Spock in Star Trek,” said Julie Nimoy. “His character’s iconic catchphrase, ‘Live long and prosper,’ quickly echoed through generations and became a battle cry for fans. I look forward to continuing my dad’s mission of raising awareness and helping COPD patients like him to live longer and prosper in their own lives, as my dad did in his.”

Cancer, Civil Rights, Creative Arts, Health, LGBT and other causes were championed and finacially supported by Nimoy.
He will be missed!
