To one who made Star Trek great, kept the Enterprise moving and beamed them up to safety. To Scotty

Oh, wow...I did a google search as soon as I saw this thread. I had no idea.

On a completely related topic, anyone know what his faith was, if any?

Scotty was always my favorite character.

Nuts, and here I was going to post the obituary "first."

I don't know what his faith was. We can only presume God will beam him up.

My dad had met DeForest Kelley a few times (this was when Dad was working at a veterinary clinic in the Van Nuys area), and found him a very pleasant, approachable sort who always maintained that his success in Star Trek was just a result of being in the right place at the right time. It seems James Doohan was another one of those.

My mom told me about that a while ago. When I was reading a book.

Scotty is freakin awesome.

Here's to classic Star Wars. So corny it's great.

^_^

By the way, here's the CNN obit.

Trek. It's Star Trek .

Somewhat strange on the anniversary of the first step on the moon. He was also my favorite character.

I always loved Scotty :[

Farewell, Scotty.



Fun fact: Did you know Doohan was actually Irish, not Scottish?

With a surname like Doohan? I would hope so.

I learned how to do my fake Irish accent by watching Star Trek.

First Bones, now Scotty

I'm also hoping for the best for him in afterlife.

Bummer. Just heard about this myself. Such is growing old I guess...all the TV and Movie stars will slowly grow old and die. Odd thought really.

I was surprised that he lived in Redmond,which is outside of Seattle.I knew he
was from Vancouver,BC but I didn't realize until I read his obituary that he lived
in the Seattle area.
Can't say what his faith was.All I know is that Shatner and Nimoy are both Jewish
and Kelley was a Southern Baptist.

Being that he was Irish he would be Protestant or Catholic.

That narrows it down

i love the old star trek show, one of my favorite old corny shows. and scotty was one of my favorite characters. the obit they had in the paper was very touching.

Good ole Doohan, I'll never forget how he gave the finger to the Germans... Literally...

Here's to you mate.

I happen to be channel surfing last night and the episode of STNG (On Spike TV) was on that Scotty appeared on where he was stuck in the transpoter for 75 years of the star ship he was captain of after it was damaged and the crew had no where to go.

They broke the mold when it came to chief engineers when they created
Scotty.The only one that came really close was O'Brien on DS9,IMHO.

Here's to Scotty, may he be in the right place.

I KNOW. I was just half asleep when I wrote that.

Did anyone else know that he was missing a finger? I never knew that until I read an article about him a day or two ago. He always managed to conceal it onscreen...

I was surpised at hearing that too. I'd never even heard that he fought at Juno.
