This is very sad. Scotty from Star Trek has beamed up for good. Doohan was a very colourful character, a war hero who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, costing him a finger. I have vague memories of seeing him at a comic festival in a hotel in the seventies, but I don't remember much about it.
In recent years Doohan went from fatherhood to alzheimers in the span of a fairly short time. He got a star put in on the walk of fame, but by this time, he was heavily beset with alzheimers and was unable to appreciate it.
