Borrowing a line from Kirk as he spoke of Spock at the end of STII and changing it some:
"Of all the Star Trek characters that I've encountered. His was the most human."
Mr. Kelley, through his portrayal of the good ol' country brought the humanizing factor to the proper and ethical use of technology.
We, as the elite users of Technology, must use Kelley's portrayal of McCoy as a guide to upcoming technologies. Not just use it because it is there, but constantly asking ourselves: Why are we using it and what purpose does it serve?
I cannot think of a better way we could honor the memory of this man who has touched our lives so much. Mr. Kelley, you have indeed touched my life. Thank you and Rest in Peace in that big Starship in the sky.
Man, when I die, I hope that people are able to still poke fun at me (God knows I give them enough ammunition).
Look, what we do after someone dies isn't for the dead person - what do they care? It's for the rest of us. So, here we are. We didn't know him as a person, so this is what's natural to say goodbye to someone a lot of us grew up watching on a (forgive me) fairly campy TV show that enthralled so many people.
For a detached sense of loss like this, humor is a lot more healthy than mourning. We're not using it to hide or supress feelings, but instead to remember old friends. What's wrong with that?
