I have some great personal memories of Jimmy. I've met him 3 times and he was always such a nice guy.
Indianapolis, I think it was 98...I was dressed in full Klingon battle armor looking quite fine (ask Thor that's his termonology) and I hit the button for the elevator. When the doors opened I walked in and didn't realize someone was behind me.
Standing at the door panel was Jimmy Doohan. Glass of Scotch in hand.
I looked at him, the door panel and said "would it be in really bad taste to say "Beam me up?"
I got a laugh out of him, and a nice big hug and kiss on the cheek (thus I know he was drinking Scotch...all day!!!!!!!!).
He was such a really cool guy but his health had started to fail. It's a loss to the trek community, but it's memories like the one above that keep him alive in our hearts.
