At age 85 he passed away at his home with his wife by his side. A WW II veteran who was in the intial wave that landed at Juno beach on D-Day. He was far better know for being Scotty in the original Star Trek Series and several of the movies.

Two days in a row an icon of my childhood has passed away. I was at a couple of events with James Doohan at GenCon quite a number of years ago. And he was very engaging with the audience. I much pefered listening to him talk his experiences in WW II than heariing the same old Star Trek stories over and over.

Another Sad Day Indeed.
