Webbing Out: Here's To Ya, Lad

I wouldn't normally post something like this on Urban Vancouver, but I thought it appropriate since James Doohan was born in Vancouver in 1920.
If you haven't heard already, James Montgomery Doohan has passed away.
James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original "Star Trek" TV series and motion pictures who responded to the apocryphal command "Beam me up, Scotty," died early Wednesday. He was 85.
Doohan died at 5:30 a.m. (1330 GMT) at his Redmond, Washington, home with his wife of 28 years, Wende, at his side, Los Angeles agent and longtime friend Steve Stevens said. The cause of death was pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease, he said.
My grandmother passed away from problems due to Alzheimer's. My heart goes out to his family. Like Bones, Scotty will be remembered.
