Leonard Nimoy’s family to raise funds for COPD Foundation<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leonard Nimoy’s granddaughter, who has an online retail store dedicated to her grandfather, announced she will have special\u00a0Live Long and Prosper<\/a> shirts\u00a0available (SHOPLLAP.com<\/a>, ) to raise money specifically for the COPD Foundation.<\/p>\n

His granddaughter, Dani Schwartz announced:<\/p>\n

“Hi all, as you all know, my Grandpa passed away this morning at 8:40 from end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,” Schwartz wrote. “He was an extraordinary man, husband, grandfather, brother, actor, author \u2014 the list goes on \u2014 and friend. Thank you for the warm condolences. May you all LLAP.”<\/p>\n

CBS collects Leonard Nimoy’s anti-smoking tweets, including a secret message in Star Trek IV<\/h4>\n

<\/div>\n
CBS collected a bunch of tweets Nimoy<\/a> made urging people to quit smoking during the final year of his life. Nimoy disclosed in February 2014 he had COPD caused by smoking 30 years ago.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nimoy only took to Twitter to promote his granddaughter’s online business selling Leonard Nimoy T-shirts and other products.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here was the tweet that cracked me up the most. From Star Trek IV, a movie Nimoy directed. In a brief scene, an Earth-bound character is wearing a big button that reads: “I Quit\u00a0Smoking.” Nimoy disclosed he purposely sneaked that into the movie. I never knew that before.<\/div>\n
