I was born into a world where Mr Spock had long been a part of popular culture. I never met Leonard Nimoy and Star Trek was on sporadic reruns on terrestrial channels. Nevertheless, I knew who Spock was, as did a great many non-fans who had never even watched Star Trek. That is how important the character was. When a character is such a big part of pop culture it can feel like the actor behind it will go on forever. Sadly that is never the case. Nevertheless,
he has left behind a great cultural legacy, not just with Star Trek but many of his other acting roles. His mark upon the world is felt so that even those who never met him will feel the importance and sadness of this event.
