Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine Among Stars Attending Funeral of Leonard Nimoy

The Wrap reports that more than 300 people were in attendance at the funeral of actor Leonard Nimoy, held in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 1st. The legendary "Star Trek" actor passed away at his home on Friday, Feb. 27 at the age 83 after suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Among the A-listers in attendance at the funeral service were Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and J.J. Abrams. Rabbi John L. Rosove, who officiated at the ceremony, offered, "At THE MOMENT Leonard's soul left him on Friday morning, his family had gathered around him in a ring of love. Leonard smiled, and then he was gone. It was gentle passing, as easy as a 'hair being lifted from a cup of milk,' as the Talmud describes THE MOMENT of death."

He added, "What did Leonard see? We can't know, but Susan imagines that he beheld his beloved cocker spaniel Molly, an angelic presence in life and now in death."

Nimoy's family posted a message on his official Facebook page to expresss their thanks for all the heartfelt tributes from fans throughout the world. "Thank you for all the love and kind words to Leonard," read the post. "We lost a wonderful, talented, sweet man, a great father, husband, grandpa, and friend. Again thank you for all the love and good wishes. R.I.P and LLAP."
