William Shatner Memorializes Nimoy On Twitter After Missing Funeral Flight

William Shatner has turned his Twitter into a memorial site for his late friend and colleague Leonard Nimoy after explaining to fans he won’t be able to make it to his “Star Trek” co-star’s funeral in Los Angeles. Shatner was forced to miss Nimoy’s funeral on Sunday due to a prior charity gala commitment in Florida, and told fans he would not have enough time to fly across the country to make the memorial. He took to Twitter.com to express his disappointment on Saturday, writing, “I feel really awful. Here I am doing charity work and one of my dearest friends is being buried.” Shatner spent much of the rest of the weekend memorializing Nimoy on Twitter and answering followers’ questions about what it was like working with Leonard Nimoy, who passed away on Friday, at age 83. Following the question and answer session, Shatner wrote, “I do want to thank everyone for coming here and sharing their memories and celebrating the life of #LeonardNimoy LLAP (Live long and prosper)!”
