What for me was most lovely is the actor, the man, the person, made a lovely life for himself and his family and for many others through handling wisely this character with which he comprehended he would be identified forever, no matter what else he did.
It's like the actress, Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha on Sex and the City: she could change the color of her hair, pull it tight against her head, wear the most dismal clothes and be as serious as called for, but nobody saw her as Mrs. Kipling. She's forever Samantha.
Ya gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. Nimoy knew when to fold -- wiser even, maybe, than Spock?
