Alzimers is horrible for the victim and his/her family and friends. R I P .
R.I.P. Patrick (Captain) Stewart. A great actor I'm sad to see pass on. I can only add, I'm glad his Alzheimers took him quickly. As gez said it is a horrible disease that robs, and is difficult for all concerned, and thankfully didn't drag on for years.
Two great star trek legends gone this week. Both will be sorely missed. Some great memories from both of these from Checovs "can you tell me where to find nuclear wessles" to Picards "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra". I grew up watching everything star trek and these two legends will be sorely missed. "Second star to the right, and straight on till morning".
