Well he was 85. But the person for whom this is going to suck the most is his 5 yearold daughter who isn't going to know her dad.

He showed that even in the future, real men drank whisky.

Rest in peace James.

That series was beyond its time, yet had some timeless archtypes.

Mr. Scott, you'll now have plenty of time to catch up on your technical journals.

RIP James. Thanks for your service in WW2. Scotty was always my favourite Star Trek character.

Ah, I hadn't heard this (I'm a bit isolated and tend to avoid media anyway). I am sad, but 85 is a good age. I know it may sound silly, but I think the Kirk- Spock-McCoy-Scotty relationships set the tone for what I looked for in close friendships as I grew up. I got all teary the first time I saw the end of "Wrath of Khan."

Cheers to you, Mr. Scott/James Doohan. Tonight, it'll be whiskey instead of tequila, in your honor. Thanks for the memories.

You'll be missed you old ornery coot.
