Sick as a parrot. He wasn't even Scottish. I am gutted is all I can say. He played a great part though. RIP Scotty.

Yep, a little known fact that 'Scotty' was Canadian and fought in the Second World War as well. Although I did forget that he became a father again in 200 at the age of 80!!

Here's to Scotty!

very sad to say the least. I grew up with the original star trek then next Gerneration and then Voyager. That's when i got lost with DS9 and Enterprise. ( actually was busy looking after the house and family) beam me up Scotty was never said. Please can someone beam me to NZ? It's taking me a long time................

Sad to hear but also came as a shock to know he was as old as that!! He bcame a father again at 80:scared: ...now thats a real shock but my OH is impressed by that

Dave and Lyns

As yes, Father in 2000 not 200, just to quash the rumours before they start.

I need to go steady on the red!!!

What, that he had 200 kids and not 2000? He was an amazingly talented man, "Know what you mean, nudge nudge, say no more!" RIP Scotty, and may your ashes revolve around the sun for centuries to come. Technically they will, even if they are not blasted into space. (According to his Will, his ashes are to be blasted into space.)

Oh my Franklin you are a knowledgable man arent you! How on earth did you find that out or was it a 'News item"

Guess it would be kind of fitting for the man wouldnt it & heres me thinking Im kinda weird for wanting my ashes scattered under the goal posts of the homeground of my beloved Canterbury Crusaders Rugby Team
Each to his own I guess huh!

Doesn't sound that strange, I heard/read somewhere that there are loads of Llanelli rugby fans who (naturally after they are dead) want their ashes scattered on the rugby ground at Stradey Park, God Bless their cotton socks!
